Communication

In the past for communication we as people wrote letters and talked on the telephone. Today, we have letters, post cards, e-mail, cellular phones, land lines, text messaging, and social media (snap chat/Twitter/FaceBook/Instagram). With all of our communication sources why haven't we as people in relationships not have mastered how to communicate? We have all of the methods to communicate but we still get our wires crossed. We still make assumptions, we rather guess what the other is feeling or trying to say, and we don't take advantage of our communication resources. I know I can say how I am feeling better in a letter or text message before I can verbally. I am definitely taking advantage. So if some aren't taking advantage of all of our ways to communicate, it means that having the sources isn't the problem. We as people learn how to communicate from our environment that we were brought up in as well as our current environment. It is important to study your mate while as friends and while dating so you can identify what their face expressions, tone of voice, and choice of words, and eyes are saying. After you know how they respond to things and situations, you can have communication because you will know what to and what not to say. To me the best possible way to communicate in relationships is after studying a person. I rather hear a persons voice. I think texting and messaging, when you could be on the phone, is a way of saying you're not worth my time so I am going to send you a few lines in a text. What are your thoughts on communication? What form of communication do you prefer?
