Study Notes
Technological Barriers
- Technological barriers hinder communication due to problems with machinery or instruments used for transmission.
- Faulty machines, device problems, network issues, internet problems, and a lack of technical skills can all impede communication.
- Incompatibility between devices can also cause communication failure.
- Example: A speaker's microphone suddenly stopped working, preventing communication.
Case Study Example 1
- Ramesh wanted to invite his friend Rakesh to a birthday party.
- Ramesh attempted to call Rakesh but poor mobile network prevented the call.
- The barrier was a technological issue—network problems.
- Communication failed.
- Remedy: Inspect machines/devices thoroughly before use.
Psychological Barriers
- Psychological barriers stem from lack of interest from the recipient.
- Parameters that create these barriers include perception, prejudice, closed-mindedness, emotions, viewpoint, inferiority/superiority complexes, ego, and generational gaps.
- Example: Students talking in class distracted from the teacher's lesson, causing disruptions to the learning process.
Case Study Example 2
- Ramesh and Umesh, best friends, worked together.
- Ramesh received a promotion and planned a party for colleagues.
- An invitation was sent to Umesh via email, but he did not attend the party.
- Umesh was unhappy due to Ramesh's promotion.
- Jealousy and lack of appreciation for Ramesh's success acted as the barrier causing communication failure.
- Remedy: Umesh should positively appreciate Ramesh's promotion.
Linguistic/Language Barriers
- Language is a key medium for communication.
- Language barriers stem from aspects of language that make understanding difficult.
- This can include problems in pronunciation, poor handwriting, spelling errors, grammar mistakes, excessive use of technical jargon, and dialect variations.
- Example: A teacher using bilingual instruction made it difficult for Marathi-medium students to understand parts of their maths class.
- Differences in educational background, literacy levels, and the country/region of language users can also create communication issues.
Case Study Example 3
- Ramesh sent an email to Umesh about visiting his home.
- Umesh had difficulty understanding the email due to grammatical errors.
- Umesh requested phone conversation to better communicate.
- This was a linguistic barrier, specifically grammatical errors.
- Remedy: Improve written communication skills by avoiding grammatical mistakes.
