ABSTRACT

The modern communicator has to find the careful balance between constant learning and embracing what is new and what is next. Relationships should always be at the cornerstone of the communication. Communicators need to find new ways to connect with people, engage in different communities, and grow their relationships on a deeper level. As a modern communicator, learning the essential lessons and practicing them are the only ways to move forward. New learning is around every corner and technology makes it incredibly easy. Modern communicators are born tech testers who explore social media and mobile technologies: Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and all that is new or on the horizon in our communications world. Social media offers the opportunity to learn in many different communities, whether it is with the communications colleagues or professionals outside of the industry.
