COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

Information Communications Technology is an umbrella term that includes all technologies for the communication of information. It encompasses: any medium to record information (whether paper, pen, magnetic disk/ tape, optical disks - CD/DVD, flash memory etc. etc.); and also technology for broadcasting information - radio, television,; any technology for communicating through voice and sound or images- microphone, camera, loudspeaker, telephone to cellular phones. At present, it is apparently culminating to information communication with the help of personal computers (PCs) networked through the Internet through information technology that can transfer information using satellite systems or intercontinental cables. Indeed, information technology (IT) has become a kind of a hub for communicating information, most often using computers. The advent in technology has contributed towards globalization. It has made the world’s market a borderless market. With the help of these technologies, the organization can tap the untapped market; can reduce the cost of operations and distributions. Today’s business world just can’t survive without the communication technology. The cell phone revolution has a greater impact on the business conducted all over the world. Forget about big businesses, today even a road side vegetable vendor cant carry out his business without a cell phone and such is the impact of the modern communication tools on our lives.
From the time Alexander Graham Bell invented telephone, there have been a constant development it the communication technology. Human beings can never be satisfied with what they have and this has led to the invention of various forms of communication. Today most of the MNCs run their business all over the world through telephonic conferences, video conferencing, satellite meetings etc. these communication technologies help companies to achieve high degree of success in communication. One of the important uses of various communication technologies within companies is to build efficient internal communication system.
Technology is changing rapidly so is communication technologies. It is just a matter of time when new technology comes and replace existing one. In fact scientists are now working on to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence (CETI). So it’s just a matter of time when we will find ourselves chatting, or video conferencing or even calling our friends in other planets!


PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: one day, I was feeling terrible, confused and something kept bothering me when I was driving to college. I felt like I had forgotten to take something very important with me. And that’s when I realized that I forgot to carry my cell phone with me. I felt so incomplete without my phone the whole day. I felt like I had lost the connection with the rest of the world. I am sure all u guys would have felt the same way as I did… this proves that not just big businesses but even a common man cannot survive without the communication tools.
