interpersonal goals

In basic communication, there are many interpersonal goals. The first goal is known as basic and an example of that would be a text message to one other person or an email sent to one other person. The second goal is interactive in which people interact with one or more people. An example of this would be a person going to a job fair who needs to communicate with many potential employers to try to get a job. Also a college student making his or her schedule and having to communicate with other people to figure out what classes to take. Finally, the third goal is the semantic web goal or relational goal which would involve forming a relationship, professional or personal, with someone. An example could be when an employer acknowledges the hard work of one of his employees and shows him appreciation by giving him a pat on the back or a raise.

Phone Usage

It is amazing how much I use my phone on a daily basis. It's crazy. Over the past 48 hours, I have had texting conversations with seven different people. One of them was for something school related, the others were friends. I also used my phone to set up fantasy football for my league which took me 2 hours. It's amazing how the use of a phone went from a device used to call someone on the go to something very close to a computer. I sometimes watch movies on my phone or watch sporting events on my phone. Over the summer, I would watch the Olympics on my phone while at work. It's nuts but also pretty awesome.
