COMMUNICATION USING NEWER TECHNOLOGIES Communication Using Newer Technologies For hundreds of years, communicating through letter writing was the only personal way to express one’s ideas, sentiments and affection. Ever since digital age came, it altered the way communication is done but in a very positive manner. Communicating with other people regardless what part of the world is possible in a very timely manner. We send invitations through an e-mail as well as e-cards to greet someone who celebrates birthday.
Invitations can also be posted in Facebook so people can confirm if they are attending an event. In fact, communication is real-time because one can video conference with a friend, business partner or loved one through technologies like Skype. Last time, my childhood friends planned a get-together; however, a friend of ours couldn’t make it, since she is living abroad. All we had to do was set up the video camera and speaker on the PC, so she can be part of that wonderful celebration. She was there with us virtually all the time, watching us as we sing and played games.
She heard the music in the background that reminded her of our good times together. She also saw the decorations we made as well as the clothes we wore that night. The only thing missing is the fact that she couldn’t embrace us for all she has is a screen. Nevertheless, she felt she was almost there; in fact, everyone chatted with her, so she saw the smiles in our face. Aside from the Skype conference, we also sent our friend pictures by simply attaching it to our e-mail. We also created a Wordpress page just for that event so people who want to watch video and post comments can do so.
Writing can come in many forms and be transmitted in a matter of seconds through an e-mail. Pictures, video clips and images can complement the e-mail or even a wall post in Facebook. Truly, newer technologies have changed the landscape of how people communicate with one another.
