1. In what ways can the different forms of communication ( intrapersonal,

interpersonal, small group, public and mass) be enhanced with the aid of
technology?
 Many modern forms of electronic communication have emerged as a result of
technological advancements, such as social networking websites and
videoconferences. Through this advancements, different forms of
communication becomes so much more easier. With the rise of electronic
communication, time and distance have become less of a barrier to
communication. Many aspects of society, including business, education, and
foreign relations, have benefited from this. This also includes our intrapersonal
communication and doesn’t only limit on a social interaction. In this case many of
us have fear to interact with other people that is why they keep everything on
themselves. These modern means of communication have made it easier for
those people who have difficulties to join the world of communication. A shy
person may not have to bear as much of a face-to-face interaction as they would
have before the advent of modern technology.

2. What is the difference between an informative communication and a persuasive

communication? Which do you think is more challenging in terms of preparation
and delivery?

 Communication is made with different purposes and delivered according on what

type does a person wants it to be delivered. This is sometimes informative,
persuasive, and argumentative. Informative way of communicating shares
information, but this also includes asking. This needs receiver’s attention to
understand the topic discussed. Even though it is intended to deliver information ,
it can also be engaging in a way the speaker makes it as it is. Unlike informative
communication, persuasive has a greater aim. It is not only intended to give
information, but it is intended to persuade or convince people to believe in the
information you are giving. It is usually entertaining because it has a purpose.
This needs more proof and detail to make the receiver believe in the legibility of
the information that the speaker gives. This type gives importance to the
speaker’s credibility on how he/she will persuade the audiences. The speaker
needs a lot of strategies to make it more possible. When it comes in choosing
which one is more challenging, I will choose the persuasive communication
because it doesn’t only focuses to inform the audience, but it also needs proofs
and verified information to be more believable and legit to make the audience
believe. In this type, a speaker can say that the communication is successful if
the audience were persuaded and believes on the information he/she delivered.
