Discuss how social media use has supported the communication myth that quantity means quality.
What will be an ideal response?
- We often assume that the more we communicate, the better. People who communicate effectively a great deal are often perceived as more friendly, competent, and powerful and as having greater leadership potential than those who do not. However, quantity of communication is not the same as quality.
- The convenience of social media allows us to send email messages, tweets, and text messages in rapid succession. Have you ever received multiple texts from a friend within seconds? Perhaps the initial text autocorrected to a word your friend did not intend to send and, as a result, your friend fired off a text to correct the error and then a series of others to apologize and add on to the conversation. One carefully composed text message would have been much more effective than a series of short texts with typographical errors.
