Oral Communication Wins....

Written text cannot communicate as effectively as oral presentation. Written text is a good medium for communication but more effective communication is done orally. The upside of writing is that it can be edited many times to make it as perfect as possible. When written text in submitted it most likely has been dissected and revised to make sure the original intention is communicated. Another risky part of writing is once it is made public it is available for critique from almost anyone. Writing is an average form of communication but lacks important necessary communication elements. These necessary communication elements are the backbone of oral presentation.

Oral communication is as effective as written communication. Oral communication adds more emotion and personalization aspects. This emotion gives it the edge over written communication. Being able to add personal aspects in communication help make it more effective and efficient. Oral communication also allows the addition of physical motions that help solidify points while communicating. These motions include the use of hands, facial expressions, body movements, and voice fluctuation. Oral communication is written communication with the addition of acting. Because of this oral communication is more effective than written text.

With all communication techniques it is very important that the author is aware of what they are saying at all times. Communication is much like toothpaste. Once toothpaste is out of the tube it cannot be sucked back in. As soon as a word is out of a person’s mouth it cannot be taken back. Being aware of what you are going to say and how you say it is critical to all forms of communication.
