what are the effects of modern means of communication on socialization?

This is simple, new means of communication restrict NVC (non verbal communication.)\nThis in turn leads to people who can't communicate as NVC is needed to aid understanding.\n\nExample,some one sends you a text you take offence to, but it could be a joke, but because there is no tone of voice or NVC you have no means of knowing the exact intent behind modern communications.\n\nBut this is also a good thing, as some people belive that the world is becoming a "global village" due to new means of communication.

I agree with the above answers. There are many advantages of communications and it is the gateway to urbanization and industrialization in general. But one of the biggest problem of modern communication is the act of terrorism and any act of violent against human nature. According to study, terrorist now are hiring and paying a large amount of money to computer engineers worldwide to post their treat to websites. Hacking is also a treat to security. Software virus are also a treat to business.

All these things can be worked on to improve and most of the people are not natural on these. Communication is a technique that must be learned. Personally, I try to identify my problems and work on it.It helps a lot!

I think so.  I think most of modern technology brings stress along with its benefits.  After all, it used to be you could get away from the telephone, the television, and the stereo: now you carry them with you.  I check my email several times a day; if it was only snail mail, once a day would be enough.  Things change faster, and even the rate of change is accelerating.  Remember Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" book?  I'd like to get a copy of that now, to see how accurate his predictions were.  It is my impression that the reality is even scarier than the predictions that scared me so bad when I was in college!

There's a few ways:\n\nCost reduction.  Transaction processing is much faster, less paper is used (ideally), etc.\n\nLocking in customers/suppliers.  The new modes of communication can be used to strengthen relations between a company and other parties.\n\nProduct/service differentiation.  IT can be used to help differentiate products from those of other companies, or even help develop new products.\n\nThese are just a few vague ones that I hope help get you started :)

Socialization is the process by which human beings or animals learn to adopt the behavior patterns of the community in which they live. For both humans and animals, this is typically thought to occur during the early stages of life, during which individuals develop the skills and knowledge necessary to function within their culture and environment. However, this also includes adult individuals moving into an environment significantly different from one(s) in which they have previously lived and must thus learn a new set of behaviors.\n\nalso see:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialization

Not really:  I see it more as 'coming full circle.'\n\nFirst, in the olden days, (before TV, movies, & even radio!) people entertained each other all the time.  People who played paino or guitar or harmonica were the musical part of the 'program,' everyone knew (as we do now) at least one quick wit who was good for laughs, and if nothing else, the dumbest person in the group could be counted upon to say or do somethign interesting now & then.  And, all of this could be entertaining without reaching the same level of sophistication because it made up for that by allowing direct, immediate feedback.  Entertainment was more of a conversation; likewise, conversation was a bigger part of entertainment.\n\nWith the coming of all these professional entertainment technologies, people saw the possibilities of the entertainment becoming more sophisticated, but didn't recognize what they were giving up in exchange.  But it also didn't matter, because they didn't spend so much time at computers (or, to a lesser extent) on the phone.  Instead, they were conducting much of their business & personal affairs face-to-face.  So, they still had enough direct-feedback, face time in their lives.\n\nNow, we spend SO MUCH LESS time directly interacting with each other, we have (consciously  or subconsciously) come to realize that the polished and very impersonal entertainment no longer makes up for the missing interaction.  So, we come back around to a more 'personal' form of entertainment.\n\nWe're still not finished, though.  The level of feedback available has increased, but I'm guessing that it still isn't enough to fulfill our social needs.  There will either be another shift that makes entertainment even more personal (more 2-way webcamming may be one way that happens,) or people will begin to drift farther away from all the electronic entertainments, in favor of more personal time.  That would be a continuation of the trend away from movies & TV, and toward the internet, of which this site is an exellent example of 'conversations.'

Communication has never been the same since the advent of the internet. Like this message board - it wouldn't have been possible to talk to hundreds of strangers everyday back in the day.

Absolutely, there was a time before "tv" and "AC" that families used set on front porches on summer evenings and conversed with neighbors as they "walked" pass.\nToday with cell phones in hand, we don’t even have time or social space to speak to them, even if we were still on our porches.\nAlmost every home has the living room arranged around the tv  so as to discourage conversation and fix attention on the tv. \nTV dinners, tv trays, under counter tv's most of us don't have very much practice at social interaction.\nElectronic games, tv and computers have replaced outside playing for our children.. Most of us don't know any of our neighbors beyond the one next door.\nChanges in almost every area of social interaction has reduced the need to know and care about those we live around..\nEven our jobs are no longer lifetime careers but we change as technology does.\nWe are more mobile. We no longer stay in one community all our lives but make several changes during our adult lives. \nBusing has ended community schools etc   etc   etc.\nSo many changes based on technology that polite social interaction of yester year is gone forever.

Technology has made our world so much smaller. It is through this wonderful thing called the internet that we are able of discuss religion with monks in tibet and rock music with hippees in england all without leaving our homes.\nTechnology has allowed us to keep a close knit family relationship cheaply and more easily despite the impedances of distance. Through advances such as webcams and cellular phones I am able to talk to my dad in California for a fraction of what it would have cost just ten years ago.\nTechnology is modelling our society into one without boundaries. It is ever bringing us closer to one another. Whether we want to be close or not.

If you mean social influences affecting the perpetuation of the traditional nuclear family, then there would be negative effects.  Media representations of families support non-traditional family settings and rely on extended families and friendship kinships more often that a traditional family scape like those of the 50s and 60s.  We see more Will and Grace and Friends than Cosby and Family Ties.  I don't know if that is a reflection of society or if society is a reflection of the media's embrace of such situations.  At any rate, its up to the individual to decide whether or not that is a positive move.\n\nIn case you meant social learning in terms of child development and the conflicts which a young person may encounter concerning parental guidance and peer influence.  I've witnessed that be both positive and negative at work in my classroom.  I have seen kids that grew up on the street meet and learn things that will help them be more easily accepted into the world of middle class norms, and sadly I have seen those with everything in the world before them throw it all away by hooking up with drugs and alcohol, etc.\n\nIn short, social learning is important.  So is good decision making and that is what we should encourage, by consistently implementing consequences, both positive and negative.

Well, here we are with our pervasive communication.  There's the Internet.  There's cell phones in every ear as you walk down the street or ride on the bus.  There's TV in all its forms.  There are more books, magazines, newspapers and other print materials than ever before.  Ever since we've gotten word processing and ink jet printers, and photocopiers, there have been more flyers, posters, advertising handouts and other privately printed materials than ever before.  Then there are movies, DVDs, CDs and all the more esoteric forms of communication disguised as and doing business as entertainment.\n\nWe are in an information age, which means an information overload age.  Everyone I know has at least one phone number, probably two or three (home, office and cell).  Almost everyone I know has one or more email addresses.  They have their own web pages, or at least their own blog pages, like Yahoo! 360.  There are more types of communications that go through the Internet than I've even had a chance to explore yet.\n\nYes; pervasive is definitely the word.
