 ● Modes of Communication
Communication mode - refers to the channel through which one
expresses his/her communicative intent. It is the medium through which one
conveys his/her thoughts. Views or feelings can be communicated through
face-to-face interaction, video, or audio. The mode may also be text-based.

There are 4 modes of communication

1. Face-to-face Communication
2. Video Communication
3. Audio Communication
4. Text based Communication

Modes of Communication
• Face-to-Face - It is an informal or casual conversation between two or
more people. People engage in social conversations to establish
relationships or maintain them. It is one way of gaining new acquaintances or
friends. How to speak, what to speak, when to speak, and to whom one is
speaking are all important considerations in building relationships.
• Video - Web cameras are used so that two or more people who cannot
interact face-to-face can communicate. If there are no technical glitches
encountered, this could be a very effective mode of communication,
especially for people separated by distance.
• Audio - Audio means transmitted sound. Thus, in this mate of
communication, only the voice of the speaker is heard. Ordinarily, someone's
voice is heard through the telephone or an answering machine when the other
party is not able to answer a call.
• Text - Based such as e-mail, facsimile, text messaging and instant
messaging Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram,
likewise offer text-bared interaction. While text-based communication mode
does not originally provide video and audio benefits it has a wider reach and
can disseminate information to a bigger audience quickly.

The last three modes are all virtual in nature. Those engaged in
communication are able to hear and for see each other in real time simulating
the actual physical setting.

Communication is how we share information, thoughts, and feelings

with other people. It can be talking, writing, or even using gestures and facial
expressions to get our message across. Basically, it's how we connect and
understand each other.

A communication mode is the way we choose to communicate with

others. It could be talking face-to-face, writing an email, chatting on the phone,
or even using video calls. It's like picking the right tool for the job to make
sure our message gets across clearly.
 • Face-to-face communication - Talking directly with someone in person,
without using phones or computers.
• Video Communication - Talking to someone using a device that shows
both of you on a screen, like Skype or FaceTime.
• Audio Communication - Talking to someone using only sound, like
talking on the phone.
• Text-based communication - Sending messages using written words,
like texting or emailing.

EXAMPLES
• Face-to-face communication - This is when you talk to someone in
person, like when you're chatting with a friend at school or telling a joke to
your family at the dinner table. For example, imagine you're trying to tell a
funny story, but you keep getting interrupted by your friend's laughter, making
it even funnier.
• Video communication - This is when you talk to someone using a
device that shows both of you on a screen, like when you're video calling your
grandma to show her your silly dance moves. For instance, imagine you're on
a video call with your friend, and your cat suddenly jumps into the frame and
starts meowing loudly, stealing the show.
• Audio communication - This is when you talk to someone using only
sound, like when you're chatting on the phone with your cousin about your
favorite cartoons. For example, imagine you're on a call with your friend, and
you accidentally press a button that plays funny sound effects, making both
of you burst into laughter.
• Text-based communication - This is when you send messages using
written words, like when you're texting your friend jokes or sharing memes
with your classmates in a group chat. For instance, imagine you're texting
your friend, and you accidentally send a typo that turns a normal message
into a hilarious misunderstanding.

Communication comes in different forms, like talking face-to-face, using

video calls, speaking over the phone, or sending messages through text.
These ways help us connect, share ideas, and have fun with others. By using
these different methods, we can stay close to friends and family, work
together on projects, and make each other laugh, no matter where we are. So,
it's important to choose the right way to communicate for each situation,
whether it's a serious talk or just sharing a funny moment.

● Communication and Technology

Communication technology - is the transfer of messages (information)
among people and/or machines through the use of technology. This
processing of information can help people make decisions, solve problems,
and control machines. COMMUNICATION IN SOCIAL MEDIA There are various
modes through which we communicate with each other. In the past, these
modes took the form of handwritten messages, typewritten messages, short
telegrams, computer-encoded texts, landline telephone conversations, and
audio/ video-recorded messages. Because each mode of communication is
distinct from the other, the ways in which we craft our messages differ. For
example, there is a greater tendency for us to write a longer, more visually
detailed message if we encode it using a computer. If we handwrite the same
message or deliver it through an audio-recording, the message will not be the
same. Today, with the rapid rise and spread of internet connectivity, the old
forms of communication have given way to new forms that make
communication easier and faster. The following report, which first appeared
in an online news source, talks about the use of social media in the
Philippines.

PINOYS TOP SOCIAL MEDIA USERS,

ACCORDING TO STUDY
By Miguel R. Camus (2017)
(1) Filipinos spend more time on social media sites than anyone else in
the world, going online roughly four hours and 17 minutes a day, according to
a report released on Tuesday.
(2) Filipinos spend most of their online time on sites such as Facebook,
Snapchat and Twitter, said the report, called Digital in 2007, and prepared by
social media platform Hootsuite and United Kingdom-based consultancy We
Are Social Ltd. US AMONG BOTTOM HALF
(3) Brazilians and Argentinians followed closely behind, spending three
hours and 43 minutes and three hours and 32 minutes on social media,
respectively, the report said.
(4) The United States, where many of these social media players were
founded, is among the bottom half, with Americans spending an average of
just two hours and six seconds per day. The least active were the Japanese,
who log on an average of just 40 minutes daily.
(5) "It's probably due to the same cultural dynamics that made us the
text messaging capital of the world," said Ramon Isberto, spokesperson for
telecoms giant PLDT and Smart, referring to mobile phone text messaging in
the past decade that is now giving way to internet-based applications.
(6) "Filipinos like to keep in touch," Isberto said. SLOWEST IN
ASIA-PACIFIC
(7) The Philippines' social media usage was in stark contrast to its
internet speed. Fixed-broadband speed here is among the slowest in
Asia-Pacific, while mobile connections are among the fastest, according to
the most recent Akamai report.
(8) There appeared to be a relationship between poor fixed. broadband
speed and time spent on social media.
(9) The Philippines, Brazil and Argentina have an average fixed-line
broadband speed of 4.2 megabits per second (mbps), 5.5 mbps and 5 mbps,
respectively.
(10) The fastest was South Korea, with 26.3 mbps, and its citizens just
spend about 1 hour and 11 minutes a day on social media.
Here’s the summary table for the study of Pinoy’s Top Social Media Users:

In conclusion, Filipinos spend the most time on social media compared to other
countries, with a daily average of 4 hours and 17 minutes. Despite having slower fixed-
line broadband speeds, the Philippines has one of the highest social media usage
rates, suggesting a cultural inclination towards staying connected online. In contrast,
countries with faster internet speeds, like South Korea, tend to spend less time on
social media, indicating a potential correlation between internet speed and social
media usage habits.

INTERNET USE ON THE RISE

11) According to the report, the Philippines' internet and social media users grew by
over 25 percent, up 13 million and 12 million over last year, respectively. - In the
Philippines, more people are using the internet and social media. The number of
internet users increased by 13 million, while social media users grew by 12 million.
(12) Mobile was also a fast-growing platform, accounting for 38 percent of all Web
traffic in the country, up almost a third over 2016. - Then, there was a big jump in the
use of the internet on mobile phones, which increased by 38%.
(13) The Philippines, so far, had a social media penetration rate of 58 percent, higher
than the average of 47 percent in Southeast Asia.
(14) Around the world, internet users grew 10 percent, or an additional 354 million
people, while active social media users jumped 21 percent, or an additional 482
million. - more people are getting online and using social media too.
(15) Global active netizens using mobile phones and other devices surged 30 percent,
or another 581 million people. -Now, half of the world's population is using the internet,
which shows how important it is for connecting people. DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY
(16) The total internet penetration rate stood at 50 percent, or 3.77 billion people, the
report showed.
(17) "Half of the world's population is now online, which is a testament to the speed
with which digital connectivity is helping to improve people's lives," said Simon Kemp,
a consultant at We Are Social.
 (18) "The increase in internet users in developing economies is particularly
encouraging," Kemp added.
(19) The report compiles data from the world's largest studies of online behavior,
conducted by organizations including GlobalWebIndex, GSMA Intelligence, Statista,
and Akamai in "a comprehensive state" of social media reference.
(20) The 2016 report has been downloaded 70,000 times and read 2.5 million times
on SlideShare so far. This growth is especially good news for developing countries.
The information comes from big studies done by different organizations like
GlobalWebIndex and Statista. Overall, the reports about internet use have been
downloaded a lot and read millions of times.

Here’s the continuation summary table for the study of Pinoy’s Top Social Media

Conclusion:
It's all about finding the right balance between digital chats and real-life connections
to keep our relationships strong and meaningful. The way we talk, listen, and use
technology shapes our society. It can bring us closer, help us learn, and make the
world a better place. But we must use these tools responsibly and with good
intentions.
