Ways of Communication

Communication is the process of exchanging information.

Communication only includes sharing thoughts, not feelings.

The main types of communication are live and virtual.

Live communication means using different electronic devices.

Virtual communication suggests meeting people face to face.

In the past, people only communicated live.

Sending letters led to setting up post offices.

The telephone first appeared as mobile phones in offices.

Writing letters by hand is usually much more comfortable than calling someone.

The development of means of communication stopped after the invention of the telephone.

Today we have smartphones which are devices with many various functions.

Smartphones are connected to the Internet, a worldwide network.

We can only find information on the Internet, but we cannot download it.

E-mail and social networks help us contact anyone no matter where we are.

Social networks are programmes that we use to call and text each other.

Calls can be ordinary or done on video.

Messages can only be typed online, but they cannot be voiced.

Besides text, we can send photos, videos, and different files.

Virtual communication can transfer feelings as much as live communication.

When people meet face to face, they can do other things together besides talking.

People can play games, do sport, and watch films when they meet face to face.

Live communication can be completely replaced by the virtual one.

Social networks can help us keep in touch.

Social networks can bring us together as close as live meetings can do.
