Communication

SMS - Short Message Service

Short messaging service has become more and more popular as we have come further into the 21st century. this is due the colossal amount of technological breakthroughs conquered in the later parts of the 20th century. the way in which the different generations of people through the years.In 2004 there was more than 40 million mobile phones in the UK and over 30,000 base stations. Communicating via SMS is good in some senses because it allows you to communicate to your dearest family and friends whenever you want and nowadays it is not even that expensive to pay for texts providing you have a contract. However with every good situation there is always a bad side to it, with this example it would be that when you text people you are not developing your people skills and this is very important for youngsters to learn to get them ready for their life ahead.

 

E-Mail - Electronic Mail

It is the same story with sending Electronic Mail (email). sure it is quick and easy to do but sometimes it is important that you manage to talk to people around you to enable for you to develop your people skills. I find that when you have to sort out an event that is going to happen or has already happened out, it always tends to be resolved quicker when you actually speak to someone face to face. nowadays electronic mail gets used a lot in different organisations such as schools and other.

I use email when I need to contact someone and I have no other way of making contact with them. Also it is a quick cheap and easy way to send documents pictures and different file format documents. I mainly use email at school to contact teachers and also to allow me to sign up to different websites's accounts so they can contact me as and when they need to. The problems you may face when sending and receiving emails are discussed when I first made my blog. Also when giving you email to companies and service that you are not sure about are also not good and the problems that you could encounter are also discussed in one of my first posts. I believe email definitely fulfils its intended purposes because it was first set up 'generically for any electronic document transmission.' Quote taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email so in this sense it is still used today for what it was intentionally made for.
