I came across an interesting article about how the medium affects the way the author behaves. As we change modes of transport, communications, language etc. it surely has an effect on our other aspects, our moods, thoughts and attitudes.

I act quite differently in my car than I do when I meet strangers in a store. I’m much more likely to be aggressive while driving, whereas in a store, I’m generally very courteous and tend to go out of my way to hold doors open for people Read More.

Working in social media involves a lot of online interactions and relation building. While I can manage that aspect well, if I was put on a phone call things would become a little difficult. I tend to be curt and snippy even with friends.

Personally when I meet people then again things get simple. Only when on the phone I just want to put it down.

Are you aware of any such behavioral changes in yourself due to medium?
