It can be challenging to understand difference. It requires patience and an open mind. The world expanded at a dramatic rate with the introduction of the internet and an online world. That created a large gap in communication styles, so much so that we aren’t even seeing the true effects of it yet. The way we interact and communicate is undergoing a wild transformation.
I get my news from my phone. Along with social media my phone also provides me with news highlights from the Globe and Mail, CBC, Global. 
I find face to face most effective. Communication is complicated and requires a variety of tools and skills. Face to face provides the ability to read body language, watch someones eyes, hear their tone. 
Honestly I’m not sure. There is so much information coming at me on the daily I have a hard time when new information tries to get my attention. Be it emails, face to face on the street, phone, text messaging, I often tend to ignore it or avoid it because I feel very skeptical about the intention behind it. Are you trying to sell me something? (who isn’t these days…)
I don’t often participate in group discussions with multiple generations. This in and of itself is a problem. I think keeping the different generations connected would help with understanding each other.  
I think I do have good communication skills. It is something I think a lot about and even do research on (currently reading “Crucial Conversations: Tools for talking when the stakes are high”). I also had multiple bosses throughout my twenties who prioritized practicing communication with their staff (whether they were entirely successful every time or not). I have observed and experienced relationship break downs due to unsuccessful communications. I feel miscommunication is often at the heart of many hurt feelings and conflicts. 
Recently I have been reading artist self-help books! I have read The War on Art and Big Magic. I like Madmen and The Mindy Project, and I have also been watching Dear White People.
Between working to pay my bills and working to build my future I don’t have a lot of spare time. I do like to get out to the woods whenever I can, to either hike or camp. I hula hoop daily as a form of mental and physical exercise. When I get together with my friends we will either share food together or have a couple of drinks. 
I admire and respect the mother of the boy that I nanny, Jackie. She is an intentional mother and a successful business owner. On top of that she is a community figure who gives back. Bandidas, her restaurant, is often donating their profits to a variety of social causes. 
The most important issues to me are animal rights, the environment, and mental health. 
Honestly text messaging is my preferred form of communication (although I cringe to admit it!)
