Be Present Even When You’re Absent

Being present even if you're absent refers to the ability to stay focused and
engaged in the present moment during digital communication, despite physical
distance. It means avoiding distractions and actively listening and responding to
the conversation, rather than being mentally absent or distracted. This concept is
particularly important in maintaining strong relationships and connection in the
digital age, as it can help prevent the negative effects of "phubbing" (phone
snubbing) on relationship satisfaction. Research has shown that being present
and mindful is a crucial leadership trait, and can be practiced through simple
habits such as meditation and reflection.

Modern Communication Tools

Changing our Language
Modern communication tools, without a question, have had a tremendous impact on
how we use language. Smartphones, social media platforms, instant messaging apps,
and email have all altered the way we connect with one another. These instruments
have influenced not only the speed and convenience of communication, but also the
evolution of language itself.

An example of these impacts is the use of abbreviations, emojis and the hashtag.
Abbreviations like "LOL" (laughing out loud), "BRB" (be right back) and "OMG"
(oh my god) are used to make communication easier. Emojis (🙂😡😢😱🤔) are used to
convey emotions or ideas. And the hashtag (#) which is used to categorize content to
make it more discoverable.
