For this assignment, think back of a time where you think you used the wrong channel to convey a message to someone in your life. Examples could be sending a text message to break up with someone, or emailing a boss when in both situations you should have talked to them face to face.

1. Describe the relationship you have/had with the person in the interaction.
2. Explain which channel you used initially and why you think it was the wrong means to communicate with them.
3. Explain which channel would have been better for the situation and why you think it would have been more effective.
