Totally!! The idea that we can convey ideas through symbols?! Incredible!

Communication can definitely be a powerful thing. And since I mostly watched the videos you made in backwards order (except for the Tuckman Model Avengers Videos, which I watched in a more proper order), I want to say thank you for giving me this opportunity to jumpstart my semester with extra credit and information from your videos. Even if I do forget some of it, I can always watch them again when their time in the semester comes and have it click a little better the second time. Thank you, Lon Schiffbauer

This really put into perspective how your audience can determine the outcome of a conversation

I love your perspective on the house, too funny. I actually had this business teacher in high school and he did the same thing.

I love how we think broader but it was simply ink on a page.

I've never broken down communication in this way. This was very insightful!

I've never thought about the communication loop in this way and how the encoding and decoding has to happen over and over again in any give conversation. Great visual and explanation!

I've occasionally had thoughts about how we as a species are able to successfully communicate and they often end with me having a headache. It is truly amazing that we are able to share information through, as you described them, the grunts and groans that we identify as speech.

I'm looking forward to taking business communication this semester. I like the way the material is presented; it's a nice change of pace.

I definitely need to get better at this! I'm not always the best at communication, especially at work. Im excited to watch the other videos in this series and get better at it.

It's interesting to see all the different ways a sender's message can get distorted on its way to the receiver.

This is so interesting I really loved this and learned a lot from it. I look forward to watching more of your videos!

Communication is key in this modern world with so many different ways to communicate with others. Learning to send and receive clear messages makes a huge difference when "grunting"to others

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Effective communication is essential. I truly believe each and every one of us can and should actively take the initiative to become better communicators as again, and I cannot stress this enough, it's so important.

Great information! Being able to communicate well is such an essential skill to have.

I find it very interesting and relief to hear your thought on "what are words". I've always wonder where do these words come from originally or the way people communicated.

I agree, if communication happens it’s an amazing thing!

Great information to remember when speaking at company meetings.

The Richard and Carlos example was cool. I think it's interesting how every person has their own, somewhat unique, understanding of the same words.

Loved watching this video I was able to learn a lot of new things from it.

This is a very interesting way of explaining communication and adds a new light!

I love this kind of deep thinking. I like actually challenging my thought process and the way thinks really work. I know this unit is really going to interest me, especially because if I see more of your dog then your videos get a 10/10 from me! (I swear, I paused the video to show my boyfriend your cute pup.

I enjoyed how you put communication in a perspective that I hadn't thought about. If humans could really understand where each other is coming from it could prevent some much ugliness, such as war.

I liked the example between Carlos and Richard. It's incredible for me that every person can encode the message differentlly depending on their experiences of life. I agree that some factors as the culture and the experiences he lived in relation with his perception of the world can affect tremendously the message.

Massively. We all view the world differently, and this affects how we express our perspective.

This intro breaks it down really well

When you drew on the whiteboard and asked what I saw, my first responds was a house and then the shapes. It is funny how we do see things as symbols rather than what they actually are. Like the whiteboard just had ink on it, really nothing else. We are the ones who put meaning behind words and actions.

I agree that your surroundings can affect the way you communicate. Being distracted, or having a loud environment around you, can affect the listener to miscommunicate what the speaker is trying to relay. Body language can also affect how we perceive communication.

Excellent video! The part when you are talking about a word containing meaning reminded me of a line from "Avengers: Infinity War". Thor says "Where we need to go is Nidavellir". Drax quickly responds by saying, "That's a made up word!". Thor quips back, "All words are made up." How true that is! I've never thought of communication as simply being grunts, squiggles, and body movements.

My former anthropology professor did something similar to demonstrate how crazy writing is. It really is an ingenious method of communication when you consider that they’re just “squiggly lines”. It’s making me feel strange to be sitting and tapping my thumbs on predetermined squiggly lines that only exist on a virtual matrix of more squiggly lines.... 🙃 I guess it’s all part of the fun

Will definitely try to reduce the "noise" next time I try to commutate an important message. I keep the time and distractions in mind.

I love this comparison we make of communication as grunts, muscular contractions embedded with symbolic meaning that we as humans. I think of how animals communicate with each other or with humans, they don't have a language they make up and teach each other, they instinctively understand each other through symbolic meanings to noise and gestures. Interesting thoughts here.
