According
to google, the definition of Communication is “the
imparting or exchanging of information or news.” As a family studies major, I’ve learned and
witnessed that communication is an important factor in creating a strong relationship
with others around.
With this knowledge I strive to exchange information with my
family to keep them informed with my life. Now this is easier said then done. Out of my five siblings, only 1 lives near
me. We are all spread out all around the world… living different day to day
life. We all desire to be a apart of each other life and share new with one
another but distance makes it hard at times.
BUT, with media we are able to stay connected through
FaceTime, Cluster, Facebook, Google hangout, and many more.
It
is not uncommon to see me walking to the bus stop holding my phone straight out
in front of my face, Facetiming one of my siblings, playing hind and seek with
a nieces or nephews. FaceTime has become a wonderful way for me to create and
connect with my nieces and nephews.
Sundays
consist of the whole family getting on google hangout and talking for hours
sometimes about what life. I love watching my nieces and nephews interacted
with one another. Hearing about what they learned in church that day.
And
it is not uncommon for one of my siblings to post a picture or video on Cluster
about something exciting in their life. Incase
you have never heard of Cluster. Cluster is best compared to Instagram but
expect for private groups.
These
are only a few ways my family has learned to communicate with one another even
thought we may life hundreds or miles apart.
This was really great to read about. There are so many options out there! One of my brothers is awful about keeping in touch, so I follow his Snapchat story to see what's going on in his life. Obviously not the best option, but hey, it's better than nothing. Media is great for making up for not being able to spend time together.
