Instant Collaberation

I believe the most important communication technology practice we should be studying is collaberation. Utilizing the ability to instantaneously send messages and files makes this technology practice a very important tool for networking in businesses, social purposes, or leisure purposes. First hand example would be our first class on Tuesday, when we used the Web CT chat room to collaberate and attempt to humiliate our fellow classmates. More importantly, the use of instantaneous messaging can be better utilized when you’re talking to someone across the country, or the continent, without having to cough up money to your phone company or cell phone provider. Sometimes it’s easier for me to reach friends and family via instant messaging rather than trying to get them on the phone. Along with instant messaging comes file sharing, voice communication, and video contact. With the right peripherals, you’re able to see and hear the person on the opposite end.
