opportunities.

Describe the use of the technologies in the communication field.

There are multiple examples of ICT such as the telephone, cell phones, printing, mail and

computers, but, without a doubt, the one that has caused the most impact on the

development of societies is the internet.

The internet is more than a platform for the exchange of data: it is the global network that

allows access to information from anywhere in the world and makes communication possible

from different places without the need to be face to face. All this happens in an almost

instantaneous time, which facilitates the almost immediate exchange and obtaining of

information.

What are the Do’s and Don’ts of Electronic Communication?

Electronic communication is fast, cost-effective, and convenient, but these attributes contain inherent disadvantages. Technology that allows people to stay in touch at all times can also invade privacy and cut into valuable relaxation time. For some decades now, the media have been considered essential elements for disseminating information. The opening of new specialized programs, both on radio and television, have given people the opportunity to keep up to date with what is happening in the world. Well, the media not only reflect “what happens in the world” but also invoke a culture and an ideology

that is constantly reproduced and that permanently impacts our society.

and acting.
