COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

Advances in technology have dramatically changed the way we communicate with each other. From writing letter to we have moved to World Wide Web (WWW). “Online” a term is been used almost every day by thousands by business people, students and the general public. Technology has expanded very rapidly in recent years. The most notable advancement has been in how we communicate. Cell phones have become so common and useful that some people are now carrying two of them. The cell phone is also now for more than just calling people. Items such as the iPhone include internet and music features that can replace our laptops and mp3 players, thus saving room and time and potentially being more efficient. Board rooms are now having company Web meetings using technology. A head office in Bangalore can talk to his subsidiaries in LA, Tokyo, Paris, and anywhere else in the orld they might be located. Technology is improving the flow of information in business and thus making it easier to have a successful company. Businesses can communicate to their employees, community and customers through many different types of media. Many companies use a blog to discuss important company issues.
Communication as advance to a great extant, but few of the old mean of communication where,
  • written letters

  • telegram
  • trunk calls
The new age technology which has help and made communication to a lot easier are,
  • e-mail

  • blogs

  • fax

  • vedio conferencing

  • blackberry( a new age communication device, which not only works as a phone but a mini laptop with access to internet).

  • wiki (sometimes wiki wiki is a web application designed to allow multiple authors to add, remove, and edit content).

and many others communication technology.

Personal experience: I found the the usage of webct very interesting and fascinating. This communiction technology allows professors to post assignments, communications, and various other materials so that students can access it at home or at the office which in turn would save time and energy for both.
