The issue raised in this video is that communication can vary with every person and we now have many different types of communications to use for various interactions. Advancements in technology, in turn, helps pave the way for new communications, which causes certain challenges to be dealt with when teaching and using communication. The UCSD COMM department must be able to keep up with the various ways to communicate but to also differentiate between what is communication? Is it any form of interacting or solely based off of what you hear and say? These strategies can be interpretive however I believe that in our course we now know that all forms of communications are in fact communication. In the end what really matters is not the form of communication, but rather the intimate interaction between individuals. Sometimes, the truest form of connection do not have to be heard or listened, like in this video the motion of Mike’s eyebrows signaled his interest in his girlfriend.
