messenger and facebook .Technology is world wide so chance of text to be seen by
your target audience .Also technology nowadays is quite addicting because its show
different thing like advertising etc.Technology is the best tool for information
dissemination especially this pandemic .Also my target audience is housewife which is
usually use technology in their homes .They can see the advertising while scrolling
down in their feedback .Lastly the technology has the power to inform other even
without face to face communication. It is a fast communication tool to advertise a
product in the whole world.
