Q & A
How has the rise of digital communication affected our in-person interactions?
-The rise of digital communication has led to a shift where people are more connected through their smartphones and social media, resulting in fewer opportunities for genuine, deep discussions. When people do meet in person, they often find themselves distracted by their devices, making it difficult to engage with each other.
What are the key differences between face-to-face and online communication?
-Face-to-face communication allows for the use of nonverbal cues such as body language and facial expressions, fostering deeper emotional connections. Online communication often lacks these nonverbal elements, which can lead to misunderstandings and a less personal connection.
How does technology affect the social skills of teenagers?
-Technology has made teenagers more comfortable with digital communication than face-to-face interactions. This shift has led to a generational difference in communication styles, with younger individuals being more adept at online interactions but potentially less skilled at building trust and understanding in face-to-face settings.
What impact does technology have on building relationships?
-While technology facilitates connecting across distances and cultures, it can also lead to a lack of emotional depth in relationships formed primarily online. Face-to-face interactions are crucial for building trust and understanding, which can be more challenging to achieve through digital communication.
How does the absence of nonverbal cues in online communication affect our interactions?
-The absence of nonverbal cues in online communication can lead to misunderstandings, as it's harder to gauge emotions like anger or happiness. This can result in a less intimate and less trusting connection compared to face-to-face interactions.
What is the role of technology in the current generation's approach to work and education?
-Technology plays a significant role in the current generation's approach to work and education by providing access to information and resources. However, it also influences their focus on hard work and labor, as they are more exposed to the internet and social media.
How does digital communication compare to face-to-face communication in terms of emotional intimacy?
-Digital communication can feel less personal and may not create the same depth of connection as face-to-face interactions. Face-to-face communication allows for immediate feedback and presence, which is crucial for building emotional intimacy.
What are the implications of reduced face-to-face interactions on our social skills?
-Reduced face-to-face interactions can lead to a decline in social skills, as people become more accustomed to digital communication. This can affect the ability to form and maintain relationships that require trust and understanding.
How can we strike a balance between online and face-to-face interactions?
-To strike a balance, it's important to recognize the benefits of both forms of communication. Online interactions can connect us across distances, while face-to-face interactions provide emotional depth. Engaging in a mix of both can help maintain social skills and foster meaningful relationships.
What are some strategies to improve face-to-face communication skills in a digital age?
-To improve face-to-face communication skills, one can practice active listening, maintain eye contact, and be mindful of nonverbal cues. Additionally, setting aside time for in-person social activities and limiting screen time can help strengthen these skills.
How does the podcast's host view the impact of technology on social interactions?
-The host of the podcast views the impact of technology on social interactions as significant, noting that while it connects us digitally, it can also lead to a disconnect in face-to-face interactions and affect our ability to form deep, meaningful relationships.

The podcast 'Digital Divide', hosted by Dale Joshua Aretta, explores the impact of technology on social interactions, particularly the reduction of face-to-face communication. Joined by seven Cibu Doctor University students, the discussion focuses on how digital communication has shifted social interactions towards smartphones and social media, leading to fewer deep discussions and a sense of disconnection even when physically present. The students observe that teenagers are more comfortable with digital communication, contrasting with older generations who were more adept at face-to-face interactions.

Transcripts
good day everyone welcome to the digital
divide a podcast where we explore the
impact of technology on our social
interactions I'm your host Dale Joshua
aretta and today we're diving into the
fascinating topic of reduced face
to-face interactions in our increasingly
digital world today I'm joined by seven
resilient cibu doctor University
students please help me welcome Nash M
Bernard magdo Athena Tano clo NY Matthew
AR
arilla Ashley Monte clo and Chelsea
Serano good morning
guys morning so for the past month how
is your life as a new
cidu college so
if don't forget n to put your hard work
during your studies and one day or in
the future it will pay off so as we all
know uh technology has been uh evolving
throughout the years
so let's get into our five burning
questions that we are going to tackle
about so without further Ado let's get
started so my first question is how has
the rise of digital communication
affected our in-person interactions hi
guys good morning sidu good morning D so
the digital communication has really
transfer the way interacting
person with everyone GL to their
smartphones and constantly SC is
scrolling through social media for
people to connect online instead of
having face to face between us so the
shift has led to fewer opportunities for
genu deep discussions when we finally
meet up we often find ourselves
distracted by our devices making it hard
to really engage with each other it's
like we're in the same room but it's
like kind of disconnected right Bernard
[Music]
yeso mostly teenagers they are more
comfortable to digital communication
than face to face so as
observe teenagers before they are more
good at communicating through face to
face
Behavior the way how they interact
people
compared so you're
implying comparing other older
[Applause]
[Music]
generation with other people compared
generation yes through face to face ah
through face to
face what do you think
reason technology
addictionology practice and not to
personal direction oh I mean face to
face Direction so if compare kids
noways like distinct uh
differences for me no like from the
older generation they are not exposed to
any techn or any technology or there is
no one one of the factors that
influences children nowadays or young
youngsters nowadays are use of internet
connections or social
media throughout modern
days such as
[Applause]
influences people nowadays compared to
the other times more on the other times
they have cultural like they focus
purely on hard work
labor
okay one example
slavy I think it's example
to more on
work opion so okay so thank you for
expressing your opinions yeah so as for
my observation as well like if I um
compare like kids uh in the past and
compare them with kids like for example
with my siblings because I have two
little siblings and I can say that
they're really uh dependent on
technology just like what Cleo Bernard
and N said so they're
more
pref
hes
[Music]
computer go to playground
so technology has made a certain impact
through that so thank you so my next
question is what are the key differences
between face to face and online
communication do differences between
face to face and online communication
are nonverbal cues and emotional
connection face to face
interactions nonverbal
Communications if that person is
actually angry or not that in online we
cannot decide if they are angry or just
blunt
at making their
messages in person meetings Foster
deeper emotional
communic connections due to immediate
feedback and presence whereas
Communication in online can feel more
detached
I think richness interaction
so Ashley face to face communication
allows for the use of nonverbal cues
like body language facial
expressions feelings or IDE in
way especially family
relationships if
side physically so on the other hand
online communication often LS these
nonverbal
elements
misunderstood well it's it's convenient
digital communication can feel less
personal and may not create the same
depth of connection that face Toof face
interactions naturally provide like
emotional intim intimacy so as a result
ships built primarily online G struggle
to achieve the same level of trust and
understanding that those form through
direct contact and joy
so if I were to
ask uh what do you call this
um
effective communicate through face to
face or through online communication to
me D I think face to face interaction
has a more impactful feeling in a way
that it it uh connects us uh physically
and mentally unlike uh digital we we can
just mute ourselves uh turn off our
cameras it doesn't have the same feeling
as it as we have by talking to one
another impact face to face compared to
online commun yeah you can imagine like
in discussion we can we can see
ourselves in the screen but it doesn't
have the feeling of our presence in okay
by side by side so when we meet someone
like or communicate with someone in face
to face you think uh you're trying to
imply now we feel more connected when
they when we talk to them through face
to face exactly exactly for me Dale the
shift to digital
communication social skills no it
changed how we interact and form
relationships mhm while social media
nice guys for like connecting across
distances
like diverse cultures usually you will
see a emotional
death like face to face interactions
like face to face uh friendships but
because of this misund understanding cuz
there's no non-verbal cues like it's
hard to build and form trust so while
technology it's nice for connecting it's
important there's
balance there's balance online
interactions and with face Toof face
Communications friends so yeah deep
emotional
balance social skills so I would like to
express my gratitude for everyone for
attending this podcast and joining with
me today I hope that you guys have fun
like
discussions podcast so I think that's it
and I hope that your journey in cibu
doctor University will be a success and
wishing you all the best goodbye guys
bye-bye byebye goodbye than you
