Chapter 3- Talk is CHEAP!
So this chapter, Talk is Cheap really talked about some great issues on how the voice is important, and how it represents our whole inside world of who we are. This was a quote made in the beginning, and that's true. Another point Levine made was how you can't fake one end of a conversation because the person on the other end will always know. For example if you're on the phone, and you're trying to read information on a computer screen, most of the time the other person will notice that you're not completely focusing on them, or giving them your full attention. This point leads into the next point about commercial pitch, and the pitch of someone's voice who is talking truly from the heart. This point is so true because sometimes you hear those commercials with people who are just doing an awful job in trying to sell a product, but when speaking to someone in person it's obvious that what's being said is true.
The email section of this chapter defined why we're able to read or write) emails and know exactly what the person meant, without having it being in paragraphs. I mean yes sometimes the message may be misinterpreted into something else, but that's only when a message is written carelessly; if you take your time to construct your words correctly, it'll be read the way it's supposed to, and still written in an informal way. I think Jessica's point on the email section relates to mine the most because we both agree that most of the time people understand what's being said in an email regardless of how you write it (formal, or informal), and sometimes it is easy writing it rather than saying it on the phone.
The next relevant point was the mailing lists section. Levine breaks up the mailing system into two different flavors as he calls it one-way, and two-way. The one-way allows you to send one email to a large number of people, and this really saves time, energy, and paper. If you're able to send the same email to many people than you don't need to type it over and over again, just form the list of people that you want to send it to, and send it. This saves time and energy because you only have to do it once, and it saves paper because you don't have to print it out and mail it, you can do it all electronically. As Elena said it's like a dream come true to those who are always on the go, and don't really have the time to search for email addresses from their address books. The two-way method is just as interesting because it allows you to respond to all the recipients on that massive email, and this is great, it reminds me of a message board. This helps a lot because you're getting your response and idea out to everyone, not just the person who sent the email to you. A better understanding or example of what mailing lists check out: Electric Mailing List and this site examples basically how Levine explained it, and also includes the software behind electronic mailing.
The last section (the last one I'll talk about) is web pages. While many web pages are things put together by people who want others on the web to know about them. It's their way of expressing who they are. You know how sometimes you may be looking for something on the web (especially on google), and you type one thing in, and sometimes instead of an encyclopedia entry you're directed to someone's webpage because of the words you chose to use. Sometimes you get lucky and are able to get all the information you need, while other times you have to keep searching. Well, the reason you're directed to their page is because they have the words you typed on their page in so sort of order. The thing is web pages are personal pages that say a lot about the people who make them. Like for instance, my friend Abdul and I have known each other since high school (about 5 years) and his web page expresses who he is through his goals, his dreams, his idols, and everything he's already done in life. But his web page isn't the same as when we were in high school; as a matter of fact over the years it's changed, but nonetheless it's always been about him, and who he is, and what he's about, and for that reason this is a pretty phantasmagoric web page!
