Packaged presentations that do not allow for modifications. Class presentations where content is adjusted based on feedback. Still discounts receiver"s active role in creating meaning. Does not apply to texting, tweeting, and posting. Interpersonal communication is necessary for both physical and psychological well-being. Interpersonal communication similarly fulfills our need to be friended and to friend others. (notice how friend has also become a verb. ) It increases our personal satisfaction: we use interpersonal communication to influence others sometimes subtly and sometimes overtly. It is a mutually reinforcing activity we engage in together.
