#methods of communication

STREAMING

Streaming is something that has revolutionized the way we view media today, streaming allows us to see live news, steam live feeds of people in REAL TIME! We are able to stream from our favorite content creators from youtube or tiktok, stream our favorite sports game, or even live news!

PODCASTS AND WEBCASTS!

Podcasts and webcasts have become some of my new favorite things. Podcasts are very neat as they are essentially recordings that are usually live streamed at some point and also recorded and uploaded for later listening. Generally speaking, a person or a “radio show” has a following and generally sticks to a certain genre or targets a certain group of people. I’m a big fan of Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova’s “The Bald and the Beautiful” as it is a comedy series featuring comedian drag queens.

Another form of communication we use- BLOGS AND WIKIS! Just like the post im making now on THIS blog, there are tons of blogs out there about every subject you could think of. You have personal blogs, you have professional business blogs, cooking and recipe blogs, the list goes on! Blogs are a neat tool to be able to share just about anything in any format with any layout! 

Wikis are a bit different, but just as interesting! Wikis have a collaborative nature, where you and anyone else can collaborate to enter information into the wiki. Wikis are in a sense just like a normal platform on the web where anyone can openly edit.

Another communication method we often use is email. Weather we are communicating using gmail, yahoo, hotmail, AOL, or Microsoft Outlook, most email operates very similarly in the operator @ user format that was first developed by Ray Tomlinson in 1972.

One method of communication is through social media- different apps like youtube, tiktok, facebook, twitter, and instagram let us share parts of our life, market business, host podcasts and even livestream. Social media has really taken off these days as “social media influencers” take over the internet and boost new and up and coming brands via sponsorship from their huge groups of followers. Social media has had the greatest impact in communication in the modern age.
