TITLE: Modes of Communication
Communication and Technology
1. Face-to-face
When using this kind of communication mode, we need to know what kind
of situation it is. Just like in the job interview, we should use formal words
in communicating and show respect to the interviewer by avoiding using
foul words because this is a serious form of interview.
2. Text-base
When using this kind of communication mode, like in a Facebook post, we
should think first about the content of our post before posting it in public.
3. Audio
When using this kind of communication mode, like in a video conference,
we should avoid the noise and stabilize the connection/signal of our phone
to have better communication.
4. Audio
When using this kind of communication mode, like in the two-way radio,
we need to consider the proper pronunciation of the words to have a clear
voice and a clear message.
5. Text-based
When using this kind of communication mode like in email, we should be
formal in our message and in the first stanza of our message should
include the greetings.

once a week or twice a week. "Seasonal" means that they use the media at a
seasonal time.

The 21st century is known as the digital age because of the rapid innovation in
technology that we humans use these days. Most of our jobs rely on using technology,
specifically gadgets. The digital age brings uncertainty, disruption, globalization,
competing values and more than a little bit of chaos. It also brings huge opportunities,
chances to improve the human experience, our economies, our businesses and our
lives. And an easier communication process. The digital age has changed how people
communicate. Also, technology assists in easy interaction between people or
enterprises by providing choices that lead to good communication. People can send and
receive communications via cell phones and computers through calls, messaging, chat,
status updates, emails, and other technological means. Because the use of social
media and technologies has a great impact on the way we face challenges in our daily
lives. Having instant access to providing information allows us to create rapport and
understand difficult things in a way we have never seen before.
