There are many technological advances that have improved lives, and made life easier for humans but none of them has risen to the level of INTERNET.
Yes, you read that correctly and we all know it is a fact not a rumour. The internet can be said to be one of the greatest inventions of mankind and has never stopped breaking limits.
According to Google, the internet can be defined as "a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols."
I'd like to make a little emphasis on the advancement of technology in communication, through the internet. Communication has been made so much easier and accessible with the help of the internet. Not like it was before, you don't need to go through any stress for you to pass across information to a person. Now you can communicate with millions of people living in any corner of the world, all you have to do is to grab any of your devices and you are good to go.
There are way or medium which you can get a message across to someone or multitude some of which are
Phone Call
Text Message
Social Media Platforms
Emails
Blogs
Vlogs
Live Video
Conferencing Technology
Group Wikis
Group Forums
Collaborative Documents
There are other ways, but I'll just want to mention some of the common ones.
PHONE CALL:
This is one of the most common means of communication in the world, it has really gone through a lot of transformation over the years and has been made easier and more accessible to people. There was a time when it was limited, but due to technological advancement you can make a phone call and get to hear from anyone within seconds.
TEXT MESSAGES:
This is what the first evolution of letter writing turned to, instead of writing a letter that might take weeks or months to deliver, technology has made it easier now.
To my belief, it is what laid the foundation to other social media and texting is now fun to a lot of people out there.
Technology advancement has really helped man keep in touch with each other and made it easier for one to communicate with loved ones, long time buddies and even business partners.
