Black and white...contrasting enough to be conspicuously spotted together. White shining over black, black engraved in white. Maybe that's the reason why we use the idiom "in black and white" to denote something "in writing". Because the very act of writing things down make them clear as does black on white or white on black.
But I doubt if many are fans of writing. They do not prefer it, they prefer verbal conversation; They prefer orange, green, yellow, sky blue, pinkish brownish red, but no...not black and white. Black and white is "mail baaji" for them.
Well, I agree, to the fullest extent, be it art, literature, nothing is as good as verbally expressing it with all the body that you got. Even I was held by my legs and dipped into this pool of communication skills, made to "rrrratofy" the advantages of oral communication over written. That just speaks about my desperation, no pointer pointing towards anyone who taught us communication skills. MG ma'am, to tell you, you were the best!
But as far as what I have experienced, I have always found "mail-baaji" to the advantage. Take down the notes of advantages of writing over blabbering:
Foremost. You are a busy person. You hardly get time to talk, or are in a place where networks are no good, but you have a phone where you can read mails. What is the best way to get in touch with you?? Writing a mail.
2. With reference to the first point again. If you are busy, no problem. You can refer to my mail later. The very essence which led the NOMADIC man to write things down when it's official :). It gets recorded!
3. I said something to you. Now few days later I twist my point. Do you have a proof of that?? NO. Consider the otherwise with writing.
4. Can you cascade oral communication?? hehe...with mails, just reply or forward and the great technology helps you link mails wrt a specific topic.
OK. it was a 5 mark question. With 4 points, you get a mark less or whatever, but believe me, atleast I do, those 4 points are worth more.
Oh....just when the bell was going to ring and the exam to end, I remembered, ...you can attach things to mails..documents, drawings etc. etc.Thats a fivey now..hehe..added this here since I did not want to disturb the end.
And, by the way, for people who like colours, try the font color options, smileys...there's every colour "in black and white".
