1. As Technology Advances, Communication Advances.

We live in a digital age. The popularity of blogs shows the influence that the internet has had on our communications. Communication theorists have argued that communication has developed from one-to-one (with pre-printing letters and books), to one-to-many (with the advent of the printing press) to many-to-many (with the internet). You no longer have to be a Harvard professor or famous novelist to reach many people: you can write an ebook and share it with many people. This democratization of knowledge is a step forward in the evolution of communication.

2. Convenience.

Because of the technology behind ebooks, they are immensely convenient. They can be accessed from anywhere. They can be stored, shared, or deleted as you want. You can browse through an ebook while you are at your desk to see if you want to read the book. You can even use the find or search function to find pertinent parts of the book.

Ebooks often contain hyperlinks that direct you to the sources of their information. This is like having interactive footnotes in a book. The hyperlinks in ebooks also make it easier for you ... Read More >>

Apple has tapped this very market many times in their history and we have all seen the MP3 player revolution when the original iPod was released. When you think about it, the only thing that the iPod did differently than any other MP3 player that was available at the same time is it’s navigation wheel. This new way to navigate songs, adjust volume and control the device made it hugely popular and it’s popularity has only grown since.

Since today’s communication technology can be confusing for many people, Genesis Global, Inc. wants to go back to the basics and take a brief look at the various types of communication channels available. This article addresses eight basic factors which affect data transmission: “transmission rate–frequency and bandwidth; line configurations–point-to-point versus multipoint; serial versus parallel transmission; direction of transmission–simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex; transmission mode–asynchronous verses synchronous; packet switching; multiplexing; and protocols.”

Transmission Rate–Frequency and Bandwidth

Frequency: Transmission rate (or speed) of information traveling through a channel can be effected by wave frequency. For example, twisted-pair telephone wires, coaxial cables, and fiber-optic cables are channels that send data at different speeds due to their different wave frequencies.

Bandwidth: Bandwidth is a channel that can send several speeds of frequency all at the same time. The more bandwidth there is, multiple frequencies of data can be transported at a faster speed. “The rate of speed ... Read More >>
