Well, I uses this terms a lot in my line of work.....
But today, a potential client whom called in, gave me a lecture on the different terminology of these "words".......
I had to listen to him for TEN minutes, just because I asked him if he wants "interactive or non-interactive" system.....
I almost want to snap.... but held back. And told him nicely... "well, its just a different terminology then..... so, what can I help you??"
I was like....... is he a school teacher or what???
My terms for "Interactive" is two-way communication, while "Non-Interactive" is one-way communication.
But his terms is.... "Interactive" is a full solution (software + hardware) while "Non-Interactive" is ONLY HARDWARE.........
Oh well...... so, what is your terminology for Interactive & Non-Interactive then?
Enlighten me please......
Thank goodness i'm not in the marketing line as i am always in the background doing the support and implementation. If i ever have to deal with an "expert" like this dude, pls don't be surprised i'll shove a mouse down his throat. Literally! Hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteUre lucky ure not in academic. Here, the terms interaction;dialogical;communication;conversation ---> they all seem to mean the same, but hold different definitions to some 'experts' (professors) in mktg communications, crm, relationship mktg, etc...
ReplyDeletei would agree with classyadele. It really depends on who and what industry is the person you are talking to is from.
ReplyDeletemaybe the client is trying to interact with you leh......
