3．The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place．              —George Bernard Shaw

沟通最大的一个问题是各说各话，互不自知。 ——乔治·萧伯纳

4．When people talk，listen completely．Most people never listen．—Ernest Hemingway

Language is a medium that binds all human beings．It is the unique form，which has been exploited and used to the maximum by us．But somewhere down the line，we used it only for the purpose of communication and not for enriching our knowledge and to increase our market value．

The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails．

Jeff Hancock asked 30 students to keep a communication diary for a week．In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges more than 10 minutes，and confessed how many lies they told．Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium．He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails，21 percent of instant messages，27 percent of face­to­face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls．

His results to be presented at the conference on human­computer interaction in Vienna，Austria，in April，have surprised psychologists．Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars，reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable，the detachment(非直接接触)of emailing would make it easier to lie．Others expected people to lie more in face­to­face exchanges because we are most practised at that form of communication．

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread，and whether it occurs in real time．People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account，he says．This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone．
