Heard 2 My Blog Account: Technology, Media and Culture Analysis: https://danielleaheard.blogspot.com/ Blog Entries Technology Has Introduced a New Communication Avenue Technology has transformed how communicators work by disrupting and enhancing the process of sharing personal and mass messages. Specifically, information technology via the web has produced a paradigm shift regarding communicators' choices (Bordi et al. 29 ). The public internet was unreleased in the 1990s despite the original web being three decades older. Before the internet, most people relied on newspapers, magazines, and television to access information. The introduction of the World Wide Web changed information consumption habits. More people started to opt for websites and emails as the primary means for receiving data. Communicators used websites and blogs to disseminate their messages. RSS (straightforward syndication) was the primary alert system for prompting users to check out new updates from their favorite creators. In the early 21 st century, Web 2.0 was introduced, further disrupting the means of communication. It allowed large corporations to set up website networks on the internet such that communicators no longer needed personal websites, email subscriptions, or RSS. Instead, they could easily create accounts and pages on social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. This change ushered in the era of social media tech companies . In addition, the web has influenced communicators' training needs by placing heavy emphasis on one's ability to use technological tools such as computers, smartphones, webcams, video, and sound-editing devices.
Heard 3 Technology Makes Professional Communication More Efficient Technology has produced a disruptive force by altering how individuals communicate at the professional level. Mainly, it has made communicators' work more accessible than ever (Subramanian 1 ). Managers are considered critical communicators in most workplaces. Traditionally, they relied on analog methods such as face-to-face meetings, memos, and brochures to share essential news with their workers. The earliest technological disruptions included SMS and phone calls in the late 20th century. This phase did not last long and has quickly been replaced by internet-based tools such as social media, instant messaging, cloud- based platforms, and video chat. Overall, these tools all rely on the internet, which has become affordable worldwide. Workplace communications have shifted to private Facebook pages. As a result, the communicators do not have to worry about setting up the infrastructure or paying to share new with the workers. Similarly, the employees do not have to manually refresh the pages to access the latest news as the platforms have tight integration with notification management systems such as Firebase. Managers seeking even more private communication platforms use instant messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram. Like social media networks, these tools let users create private groups. Their key advantage is that they are not forked from existing desktop websites, making them more secure. However, the ease of communication technology means that managers and employees must be tech savvy to use the new platforms.
