Therefore, I think it is fairly safe to say that conversations are the reserve of one-on-one communications.
This pleases me, because personally I much prefer talking to only one person at time, preferably without anyone else present.
Why am I like this ? . . . I’m not fully sure.
I have a theory though, regarding those of the opposite persuasion; those who love speaking in groups, and it is this : they love being the ’ centre of attention ', something they can’t be with anything less than an audience.
Has anyone got any suggestions for further reading on this topic [ free online stuff ] ?
Communication in terms of logic gates, a system can theoretically persist infinetely, and contain any information, so long as each gate can output to one other gate, and input from one other gate. In this sense, each gate is an exact replica with one possible binary shift. Thus it can carry “0” or “1” and can pass along “0” or “1.” In this sense, there is never an instance of communication between more than 2 gates.
But this manner of logic gates is impractical and is never really used today. So there are varieties of communication.
Likewise, communication between human beings (for psychology and strict practicality) can be in a variety of ways. I think we all need experience in many varieties- including less pleasant ones.
For psychological health, and human resources, we also need a large variety of people that are geared toward a specific type of communication.
Your experiment, though it doesn’t begin with a hypothesis, can still suggest that people take more consideration toward a one-on-one conversation. But it lacks a great deal of important research. What about “speach” or “three-way conversation” or “conference” to consider a few.
I do admit that I find an advantage to beginning life intraverted, and growing extraverted aspects along the way. A well-rounded person is founded in the ability to stop and think alone. Although interdependance is essential for teamwork, our lives depend greatly on independance. There is much interesting research to be done regarding what communication style suits what role.
IT’s possible to speak to more than one person at the same time, IT would just require the speaker to create a new ego, since to old one of selfawareness was given up In the plight for free speech.
When you are in a one-on-one conversation, you have one unified object of attention. There is only one person to concentrate on. One person has everything to do with himself, whereas two people have nothing to do with each other; they are completely different persons (relative similarity is still absolute difference).
