RESEARCH ON COMMUNICATION
1. E-MAIL.
Electronic
mail, most
commonly referred to as email or e-mail since c. 1993,[2] is a method
of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern
email operates across the Internet or other computer
networks. Some early email systems required that the author and the
recipient both be online at the same time, in common with instant
messaging. Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward
model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store
messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online
simultaneously; they need connect only briefly, typically to an email
server, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages
2.
SOCIAL NETWORKS.

Social media are Internet sites where people
interact freely, sharing and discussing information about each other and
their lives, using a multimedia mix of personal words, pictures, videos and
audio.
At these Web sites, individuals and groups create and exchange content and engage in person-to-person conversations. They appear in many forms including blogs and micro blogs, forums and message boards, social networks, wikis, virtual worlds, social bookmarking, tagging and news, writing communities, digital storytelling and scrapbooking, and data, content, image and video sharing, podcast portals, and collective intelligence. There are lots of well-known sites such as Face book, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Flicker, WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal, Wikipedia, Wetpaint, Wikidot, Second Life, Del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, Lulu and many others. |

SKYPE.
Skype /ˈskaɪp/ is a freemium voice-over-IP
service and instant messaging client that is developed
by the Microsoft Skype Division. The name was
derived from "sky" and "peer".[
The
service allows users to communicate with peers by voice using a microphone,
video by using a webcam,
and instant messaging over the Internet. Phone calls
may be placed to recipients on the traditional telephone networks. Calls to
other users within the Skype service are free of charge, while calls to landline
telephones and mobile phones are charged via a debit-based user account system. Skype has also
become popular for its additional features, including file
transfer, and videoconferencing
