There are many similarities between communicating in person or with technology. They both show emotion by your attitude or facial cues. With technology you can show your emotion by the way you talk and how you talk, for example if you text someone a message and the text is all capital and the person you sent the message to might take it personal, if your talking to someone in person you could show your attitude by the way you say your words or your facial cues. The distance between talking in person and with technology is that you can both still talk to each other from a long distance away. One problem with talking in person is that you can’t talk to them from across the world, but with technology you can. You can meet new people with technology and in person, if it was the first day of school and some new students came to your school and you wanted to meet then you would probably ask what their name was and where they moved from. With technology you can meet someone on an online game or on a website forum. Seeing someone in person and with technology are possible in either ways, If you are face to face with someone you can obviously see their face and the way they look, and with technology you can do the same but not be face to face in person.

There are many differences with communicating in person and with technology. One difference is there is a different time limit between the two concepts, if you are talking in person you can have more time to talk to someone. Using technology is better for quicker conversations. Another difference is the distance between the two ideas. If you are talking in person they have to be close to you to talk to you, if you are talking with technology it does not matter the distance for a conversation.
Another difference is that the person might take you message the wrong way. If you are talking in person your body language and facial cues help get your message across, If you are talking with technology sometimes the message is misinterpreted.
The main difference in my opinion is trust between the two concepts. If you are talking to someone in person you know exactly who your talking to. If you are talking to someone with technology you possibly don’t know who you are talking to. Another difference between the two ideas is privacy. If you are talking to someone in person you can whisper to one another. If you’re talking with technology people can hear your conversation or buzz into the call. These are just a few of the similarities and differences, but there is plenty more. Which one will you choose?
