Throughout history, the technology has had a huge impact on the means of communication to connect
people with each other. A few centuries ago people knew only a few kinds of communication. Needless to say
but sending a message from one county to another was nearly impossible or it took a lot of time. Nowadays
you can send the message in a few seconds. It is essential that people can use Internet to contact and connect
with family and friends through socializing programs which has changed the world in so called ‘the global
community village’ On the other side
when you talk face-to-face, you communicate with more than words. You communicate with your eyes and
your hands. You communicate with your whole body. People can sense that you really want to communicate
with them. This energy bonds people together. Your relationship with a person can grow much stronger
when you communicate in person. Face-to-face encounters tend to go on longer than other forms of
communication. An e-mail lasts a second; a telephone call, a few minutes.
