Before, in order to send and receive messages to our loved ones, we still need to write a letter and send it through snail mail which actually takes ages to reach the destination. But now with just less than 5 seconds the message that you are sending will already reach its destination. Thanks to automation and the advancement of communication technology.Mobile phones are good example when it comes to citing the advantages of communication technology. The mobile phone industry has evolved so much that it now has the 4th generation of cellular technology. This now enables us to communicate with our loved ones using video conferences or video calls.
Another good example is the internet.
With the use of computers we are able to send and receive email messages to and from our loved ones. Communicating over the internet is also one way to reduce the cost of the communication itself.
