There is an unwritten "rule" in the game of baseball, applicable at times when you see the team manager in a heated argument with the ump, that - "you can basicly say anything you want, as long as you dont look at the other person (ump) in the eyes" If followed, he wont toss you "outta da game". I'm curious how that idea effects the entrys here, (I have yet to "look anyone in the eyes" when "replying") vs what is said in our "out of real time" medium AND vs the number of deleted (ARRGH) base notes I often see... Taken one step further (and I'm sure the VAX system security programmers would love to accept this one) - what would people say if the "traceback" possibility were at the replyees option. Your first name - but no address! I'd be willing to bet in SOME cases peoples attitudes and whole personalities are much different in this 'scope (no pun intended) than for a face to face encounter - Joe Jas

Joe, I think you're right, I bet some people would act very differently when confronted face to face. Toodles, -Dotti. | |||||
144.2 | ...With noters etiquette respected | KRYPTN::JASNIEWSKI | Mon Nov 10 1986 08:24 | 7 | |
PS: I realise that the "noters etiquette" rules exist governing "what can be legitimately spoken of" - lets discuss my base note with those rules respected. Joe | |||||
144.3 | H_R thru technological changes in communication | ATFAB::REDDEN | The vision is becoming clearer | Mon Nov 10 1986 12:36 | 17 |
As we develop new communications technologies, we are going to have to learn new interpersonal communications skills. A characteristic of the new technologies is they tend to use a very limited numbers of senses to communicate, in contrast to face to face communications, which uses <integer of your choice> senses. To some degree, something has developed around the telephone, with books and training on effective use of this medium. Perhaps we should expect to soon see training offered in "Effective Noting" or "Management of remote professionals thru noting". Responding more directly to the base note, how would the question change if VAXnotes were implemented using full-motion video rather than text? Then I could look the camera in the lens when I was talking and your might feel that I was lookin' you in the eye? OK - how 'bout if it was implemented with holographic images, and I was sitting next to you right now saying this. Would looking into the eye of a holographic image ring your chimes? | |||||
144.4 | Never anonymous... | BOVES::WALL | I see the middle kingdom... | Mon Nov 10 1986 12:38 | 8 |
I find that in many cases the middleman of NOTES gives me time to organize my thoughts and be more accurate and open about a topic. I am blessed/curese with an inordinately extensive vocablulary, and am wont to allow my words to get in the way of my meaning. Like just then. :-) DFW |
