Communication Compass (Assignment One)

1. Electronic transmission of information that has been encoded digitally (as for storage and processing by computers)

2. The biggest advantage of digital communication is being able to talk to your friends from practically anywhere. You get an instant response. No paper is used for long distance messages. And are able to talk to emergency services no matter where you're located. These do have downsides of course. People get addicted and may stay on their phones. They result in more car crashes due to people talk while driving and they are another bill to pay.

3.Texting is one of the most popular forms of communication, you can quickly type out a short message to send to friends or family. Phone calls are for longer, more complex conversations. Emails, while not as popular as the other two, are good for sending over files or for more formal conversations.

4.The biggest one are emails, People are much more likely to just call or text then send a long and detailed email. Besides that, some apps like Twitter or Vine and the like may end up being phased out. In fact, Vine is currently in the process of shutting down.

5. First and foremost, Driving is obvious, it risks the life of you and everyone around you. A funeral, marriage or library are obvious going to be regarded as disrespectful. And somewhere like a court may end up with you in prison.

6. Websites like Omegle that match you up with a random stranger and the two of you talk through webcam and microphone, this should be self explanatory. Besides that, social media. People have a tendency to put A LITTLE TOO MUCH information on accounts visible to all.

7.While I think that children should be introduced to computer and the internet at a relatively young age, the amount of time it's used should be monitored. Today there are a lot of people that are addicted to technology and I presume that in the next generation, the power going out would be like cutting off their oxygen supply.

8.Well if someone decided to avoid Social media, they should delete their account, if it's something like facebook they can reactivate it at any time. If they are dead then I think their account should be turned into something of a memorial.
