Electronic Media

Electronic media is an important form of media technology. Electronic messages are useful in communicating business and personal needs. One of the most popular forms of electronic messages is email. Email communication is in the majority of business offices today. It is the primary form of communicating information on changes and updates around the company. Email helps to save time by sending fast messages and also allowing for fast replies from the recipient. Because of its convenience, email is not only for professional use. Email allows you to communicate with friends and family members around the world in what almost seems like real time. Through email, you can send pictures, videos, sound clips in order to keep in contact with one another.

Another form of electronic media messaging is text messages. Like email, text messages allows for faster communication between sender and recipient. Text messages generally help communicate information from cell phone to cell phone. Because of the convenience of cell phones, many people have them on their person at all times. This helps to aid in the speed of the communication process. Text messages are convenient because sometimes it is not always feasible to talk on the phone, especially in public situations where it can be considered rude. “Texting, on the other hand, enables people to communicate almost anywhere and anytime, without bothering others or being overheard” (Hanson, n.d.). These forms of media technology make communication easier and more convenient when life gets busy and you are on the go a lot. For many people that is every day.
