Speaking on using voice mails


Nowadays it’s hard to imagine someone who records voice mails and, moreover, uses them on a regular basis. It sounds preposterous and the young generation would obviously internally poke fun at such people. And I can certainly understand them. As for me, I don’t use them and neither are my groupmates or simply the people I know. No-bo-dy.
I believe that if someone can’t find on the Internet the info they search for, they can alternatively ask their relatives or friends to help them with this issue. It’s just simple as that. Sorry for the shortness of my sentences, but answering about the Internet is like using it: quick and simple. I don’t worry at all about contacting someone via the methods listed above. The only thing that confuses me is recording a voice mail. I am convinced that trying to communicate with someone (especially with a stranger) via voice mail is not the best option to choose. There are lots of social media platforms as VK, WhatsApp, Telegram and so on. It’s possible to make a voice recording via them which is not the same as a voice mail. But I know some people who absolutely hate to receive voice recordings and they ask such people to text them instead.
It seems to me that leaving a thank-you message mainly depends on the age of the person you text to and on the situation itself. If it is an old person who traditionally percepts the ways of communication or if it is a college teacher, or a business letter then I agree that a thank-you message is necessary. But it’s pretty unlikely that you can see such forms of contacting in a casual chat because the young generation is very lazy. We don’t want to spend even 5 seconds on reading something we don’t want to: either it is a thank-you message or a short article. Time is what really matters. As for answering the last question, no, I have neither offended someone in such way and nor has someone done it to me.

    Hello Nikita,

    Thanks for your answers but having read them I have realised that probably I've formulated the task not very clearly. My idea was that you'd use the information from the article to compare and contrast voice mail and text messages. Yes, you have explained the attitude of young people to the forms of communication discussed in the article but probably the question that could be discussed in more detail is the netiquette. Here's just one examples of such rules https://www.verywellmind.com/ten-rules-of-netiquette-22285. What's your opinion about them?

      I think the advice is very useful . Here is what I've realized: I myself use these tips inadvertently! And I reckon everyone on the Internet can feel that, for example, by using caps lock you trigger people to think that you are shouting at them. In addition, files that you consider beautiful and amusing and which at the same time are too overloaded are not perceived by others as attractive ones. It annoys people and bores them, and again every one senses these things. As for some other tips, I'd say they are obsolete:( Generally, mail now is not that popular as social media. The number of people using mail as a way of being in touch with somebody gradually decreased because of creating apps like VK, Facebook, Telegram and so on. There are lots of quick, modern and convenient ways of sending messages through VK, Telegram. Mail is rather used for business purposes or for any formal affairs.

      Hello Nikita,

      Thanks for your answer. It was interesting for me to read it and learn more about your opinion. What is your preferred tool for communication with your peers? How often do you communicate using it? Do you find the content of your communication qualitative? Would you like to change anything in it to make it more rewarding?

    I communicate everyday with others on VK using text messages. Also, I call my friends up if I want to deliver any info that is too long and big to be written. The content is not that qualitative, it's usually the talk about routine, especially now that we have to spend our time at home because of the COVID situation. I wouldn't change anything, it's okay for me to be linked with others this way. I consider communicating with my peers to be entertaining because most of my time I study and it drains me a lot.

Semester work assignment #1

  Russia-Ukraine: tentative progress at first talks for three years The topic I’ve chosen is connected to the Russian-Ukrainian issue that’s been unresolved for 5 years since the Crimea incident. The question is very controversial and the relationships between the two countries were tense, and situation still has not changed so far these days. I'd like to consider two periods in its development: what happened before the meeting and after it. It is necessary to say a few words about a certain period importance of this event The majority of European countries and the USA still consider Russian annexation of Crimea as an illegal action towards Ukraine. As an immediate response to Russia, lots of them imposed their sanctions on the Russian Federation which then resulted in the deterioration of the situation.  Thus, Russia was expelled from the G8 for such inappropriate behavior which led to the rapid decrease in influence of the country on the world stage. In addition, in 2014...

1 . Cousteau said that the Antarctic is an important area on our planet which contains the largest amount of ice on Earth. Ice itself creates/makes a balance between the cold ocean water and the warm tropic water by letting the cold ocean water cool the warmer one and, thus, preventing the temperature from either going up or down. But nowadays, it's getting harder to find this naturally created equilibrium because of the human's factor.

Post-4 Interesting-topics for discussion

To begin with, I’d like to mention that the diversity of our thoughts depends on what we do or see to enrich our mind. So, personal preferences breed our interest in something and create a variety of topics we’d like to discuss or share. To me, there are three topics I’d like to draw attention to: cyber sport, movies, and social networks. I have chosen cyber sport because I’ve been playing computer games since I was 10. Nowadays, game industry has rapidly developed, and the number of people who are into games has also increased. So,games have played a considerable part in my life as well. On the one hand, to me, they are both enjoyment and relaxation, and, on the other hand, they helped me to get rid of some stress moments. The next thing I’d like to talk about is movies. I have a friend who is keen on movies,especially on drama films. As a result, I caught this "drama infection" from him. Thrillers and horrors are the genres I hate mostly because none of them will...
