In what ways do you communicate online? Ask another prying questions from the daily prompt.

Things changed recently in that regard. The company apps like Slack, Zoom, Teams and many other system monitoring and admin tools along with company email are no longer. I used to spend a lot of time communicating on Slack because the hours I worked everyone else was in bed. And if they had to be woke they weren’t in the building.

Blogging here is probably my most common one to the public. I use a lot of email to family and friends. I get on Facebook every few days but I don’t post much of anything there. I used LinkedIn in the past.

Is texting considered online communication? It’s done from smartphones right? Who knows. Again I do some but not an unusual amount. Probably less than average.

Oh yeah, a little YouTube and that might increase as I learn to take more video.

I have a photo site on Zenfolio and as my site grows so does the communication.

Medical institutions and hospitals have all switched to some form of online communications. Some do it well, some don’t. Unfortunately I have several medical apps.

Commentary – I have no problem with technology except that we all are prone to go overboard and misuse it. Communication face to face or at least with voice is important. Real friends are not measured in Facebook counts or likes. My advice to the youth which is probably far to late. Get your damn face out of the smartphone and talk to someone. Walk with someone. Hold hands with someone. Laugh with someone. Cry with someone. Live with a real human being and not a screen.
