CAS 283 The Ohio State University Lifespan Communication Worksheet

 

Overview

In this assignment you will demonstrate your understanding of how communication varies across the lifespan, analyze and compare the way that age affects our use of technology, and compare and contrast known data about teens and older adults online with your personal interactions with these groups.

Procedure

Please respond to the following prompts about lifespan communication. Your answers should be integrated into one essay instead of a list of answers for this paper. Please use examples from the lesson and reading as well as personal examples to support your thoughts.

  • Summarize how you think communication changes as you age. What is different about communicating as a young person versus the age you are now? What do you think might be different as you get older?
  • Summarize the similarities and differences in the young and old communication online. What do they have in common, what is unique about each group?
  • Think of a person in your life in each of these categories (younger and older). Talk about a few ways they specifically fit and/or don’t fit the data.
