E-mails and Relationships


E-mails shape our relationships!
 
We all know this and have stories to tell but now, as Daniel Goleman and others are researching this phenomenon, we're beginning to understand why.

The social part of our brain that tunes into micro-expressions and emotions is crippled when we are using e-mails /texts/ Twitter/ Facebook etc....we just don’t have the wealth of background information to make sense of the words.

And yet these ways of communicating are so very useful and now embedded in the fabric of our daily lives. So the question is...how to enhance relationships using this technology and protect ourselves from the relational fallout?

Any ideas out there?!?
