With abundant empirical evidence showing that it was no more meaningful and thoughtful as the traditional means of communication, high-speed electronic communications media have been made a target of the public criticism. This assertion begs the question.

High-speed electronic communications media, such as Internet based media and television, serving no more than tools to communicate, have nothing to do with whether they prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication or not in essence. The only way to grant the communication as meaningful and thoughtful is persons utilize these media meaningfully and thoughtfully.

It is true that, by all amounts, Web, as a high-speed electronic communication medium, is gradually devolving into a mass medium for entertainment and commerce. Meanwhile personal interactivity via Web is yielding to advertising, request for product information and even adult-oriented content, which can never be the inherent content of the Web. In fact, the purpose of Web is to enhance, rather than prevent, meaningful communication. It is the Internet made possible the remote education. What we do is just drop the original goal on the half way. A means designed to promote the meaningful and thoughtful communication altered to platform for chitchatting, which just resulted from the change of the utility of the Web, what a shame!

It is also undeniable that, from its very advent, television played an important role in enhancing communication to the masses. Not only did the television provide a way that family could gather to share what they saw from it , but also did the television serve as a vital media to make possible knowledge disseminated in its , however, as time went, its objective, which only set by our needs, inevitably changed with people more and more concentrating on direct benefit. Where benefits over knowledge become the dominant needs out of communication, meaningful and thoughtful communications prevented and eventually disappear. Thus, it is our need lead to the utility of the media from which we judge whether or not the communication is meaningful and thoughtful.

Another argument against the author’s assertion is that the understanding of meaningful and thoughtful communication can vary from person to person. For those who aim only at benefit, the only judgment of meaningful communication via high-speed electronic communication media is whether consumers react intensively to their commercials broadcasted by those media. Therefore, query whether meaningful and thoughtful communication refers to the criteria we usually share.

In the final analysis, it is us, who utilize them, not the high-speed electronic communications media themselves should be responsible for the declining of meaningful and thoughtful, under our common sense, communication.
