If you think about it, communication is cool. At least it's cool to me.
Think about it. Every day we communicate. Every day we sit down to watch TV, listen to the radio, chat with a friend on Facebook, tweet about snow storms, text our significant others about what to have for dinner, write a status on Facebook, nod our heads in agreement, Skype with a brother in Afghanistan, write in a blog, etc. These are all forms of communication.
If you're as lucky as I am (at least I think I'm lucky), you get to actually study communication in school. I am currently about 2 1/2 months away from earning a Master's degree in communication. Ask me then, when I still don't have a job, if I still love communication as much as I do now.
In my final digital storytelling class this semester, we are working with the Boys & Girls Club of Milwaukee to create digital stories of high schoolers who have excelled as a part of the organization. Through communication, me and my six class mates are preparing these digital stories (probably videos) so the community can see how the Boys & Girls Club has contributed to their lives. We are then communicating these videos to the public, who are then (hopefully) communicating to their friends, family, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. It's communication! The concept fascinates me. Obviously.
Communication is what's telling us about protesters as far away as Egypt, and in our neighboring city of Madison. Communication is what took place when I saw Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Good Morning America this morning. Communication is what happened when almost the entire city of Milwaukee (Marquette AND MCW too!) shut down because of a snow storm. Communication occurs when I learn about that all my friends are either engaged or pregnant on Facebook. (When did I become that age?)
Communication is what happens when I get "the look" from my fiance. Even when we drive, when people use their turning signals, that's communication. Although, it seems like lately people are choosing not to use them, but that's a whole different blog entry.
Communication comes in all forms. From what we wear, to what our body languate and what we say, or don't say, is all communicating. Pretty cool, huh
OK, I think I'll stop my rant now. I clearly think communication is a pretty neat tool.
