Writer: The Most Overlooked Skill Set In This Digital Age

3 36

The digital age is upon us, and it's not going anywhere. In fact, it's becoming more and more important for us to keep up with all of the new technology that comes out every day. We are now all connected. We have access to a wealth of information, and we can do so much more than ever before. But for all that our phones and computers allow us to do, it's still easy to forget that there are still some skills that can't be learned online.

One of the most overlooked of these is the ability to write.

The truth is, writing is a skill that you can't get from a computer program or even from another human being. It's something you have to develop on your own—and if you don't do so, you're just not going to get very far in life.

So what does it mean to write well? It means being able to communicate your thoughts clearly and concisely. It means knowing how to use language effectively so that people understand what you're trying to say. And it means understanding how language works in general so that you can pick up new words or phrases quickly when you need them!

Writing is how we communicate with one another in this digital age. We may use Skype and other video chat services, but most of our communication still happens via text message, email, Slack channels, etc. And unless your job is in sales or customer service—where it's imperative that you be able to hear someone's tone of voice through text—you need to be able to communicate clearly and concisely via written word.

Writing isn't just for writers; it's for everyone! You might think that this doesn't apply if you're trying to become a programmer or web designer or something else where the written word isn't necessarily at the forefront of your work. But that would be a mistake! The reality is that almost every job requires some level of communication with other people, and writing is one of the most effective ways to communicate. So whether it's writing emails or blog posts or even just notes for yourself, learning how to write well will make all of your other skills better too.

Whether you're an entrepreneur looking for ways to pitch investors or just someone who wants to be able to write better emails at work (or anywhere else), learning how to write well will go a long way toward helping you succeed in whatever goals are important.

In Conclusion

It's true that we live in an era where communication is extremely easy and accessible. But it doesn't mean that anyone can be a good communicator. You need to know how to communicate in order to be successful—and that means knowing how to write well enough so that people will want to read what you've written.

In this digital age, writing has become more important than ever before. If you don't have good writing skills, your business won't go far. Writing is not just about putting words on paper or computer screen; it's also about conveying your thoughts and ideas effectively so that people can understand them easily.

But all too often, people overlook the importance of writing skills even though they are such an integral part of our lives today.

The ability to write well is one of the most important skills you can have. It doesn't matter if you're at home, at school, or at work; if you want others to understand your message and take action on it, being able to write clearly and concisely will help you get there faster than anything else out there today.

If you're like most people, you probably don't think of yourself as a writer. You're not paid to write, so why would you need to hone your writing skills? The truth is that everyone needs to be able to communicate effectively and efficiently, whether they're communicating with their boss or colleagues, customers or clients, or family and friends. And what better way to communicate than through writing?

If you can't write well enough so that people will want to read what you've written, then you're putting yourself at a disadvantage when it comes time for someone else to read what you've written.

There's a lot of skills that we cannot learned effectively in virtual engagement. But when pandemic starts we need to continue educating the young's for the future of our country. It's been two years when pandemic brought a devastating effect around the world, before I pandemic starts Im planning to pursue my Masters Degree but because of this pandemic I stop and decided to continue my Masters after this pandemic as I believe that face to face classes is the most effective way to learn the things that you need to know.

I agree with you. I think there are some things that can only be learned by face-to-face interaction. But I also think that virtual education has its place in the world. It's just not right for everything/everyone.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately as well, and I think it comes down to the fact that when we're dealing with something like a pandemic, we need to be able to learn quickly and efficiently—and in a way that will help us stay safe during an outbreak. That means having access to all kinds of information, including videos and articles from experts who have studied pandemics before, so we can better understand what's happening now and what might happen next.

Agree, before pandemic our professor conduct an experimental research for online learning. We are the subject of her study, two sections are used the other one will engage in face to face interaction and the other section will learned via online wherein for the second subject all we have is a video lecture and other instructional materials which can be access via online. Its effective I think but with enough technical support if the student will failed to prepared those things, like laptop, Smartphones, and of course internet. The student will face hard a time to understand and cope up with the lesson.
