Inter-cultural Business Communication 2Reflective ReportCommunication TodayFrom the topic, communication today, there are different things that I learnt, some which I was aware of and some that I had not thought of prior to the lessons. In the recent past decades the ways that people used to communicate with each other have changed rapidly. Within a period of one century, the methods of communication have changed from the use of telegraphs and letters to the use of mobile phones which were closely accompanied by the use of social networks. Today, communication is very much faster than it was before. It is very easy to know matters that are happening globally in a matter of seconds (Tenopir et al., 2009). Technology has therefore improved communication levels very highly in the present day, as compared to any other time ever before. Different means of communicationThe different means of communication that are used presently depend on whether the communication is business related or personal. For personal conversations, people use different means. Texting via mobile phones is one very widely used tool of communicating.

Even familymembers may be seated around a table but no one is talking to another as they are all busy communicating with other people who are not physically there (Ferguson, Plo and Pérez-Llantada, 2011). This has caused many family members to have strained relationships because they don’t not properly communicate with each other on the different issues in existence. After much reflection, I realized that I was one of these people. I am constantly on my phone. Whether I am waiting for the bus, or in a queue, my attention is always directed to my phone. I learnt that it is important to communicate to people through technology but it also very importantto communicate to people who are there physically.
