WHY MOVING ON?

COMMUNICATION

CELL PHONES/ SMS
TELECOMMUNICATION
VIDEO CONFERENCING
SOCIAL NETWORKING
IMPACT



 There’s been a movement away from face-
 to-face meetings / communication. Instead,
 people and businesses use video
 conferencing, Elluminate (incorporates chat
 and presentation conferencing facilities) and
 virtual conferencing (Second Life).
 Technology is more portable and people have and expect
  constant access to the internet.
 Communication is virtually instantaneous (compare email
  versus snailmail).
 Communication is less rigid and less inclined to conform
  to traditional standards and rules. It’s less
  formal. Mistakes are common. Acronyms are also
  common.
BENEFITS
 Speed / time can be saved because it’s much quicker to
  move information around.
 Cost – it feels free to send an email (although it isn’t); it’s
  certainly cheaper than phone calls. Video conferencing
  saves money on flights and accommodation.
 Online communication brings families / friends together
  across distances.
 Education – it’s accessible and there’s lots of free
  information.
 Community – it can reduce isolation and provide
  support systems for people who need it.
 It’s available 24 / 7. People can do shopping /
  banking / chat at any time they like. They can
  communicate with people on the other side of the
  world while everyone in their own country is asleep.
