Define the technology enabled communication

Answer 1

In many respects, with the proliferation of communications technologies, it increasingly falls to each individual to choose with which of these technologies he or she will engage. After all, it's not as if there is a shortage of technological gadgetry out there for the using. In our age of abundance, it's as much of a philosophical choice as a practical or economic one. And for all of the hype of each new innovation within communications technologies, old, or "legacy," technologies still persist. A massive amount of data is transmitted through fiber optic cables and stored on hard drives, yet older tape drives and even-older telephone wires still have their uses. Mechanical technologies can remain as useful, or cheap, as electronic technologies. At the same time, communicating through an old technology -- say, by sending a letter through snail mail -- now produces a sense of nostalgia, or, as the case may be, impatience, in some people. That can be its own benefit, and a reason for looking to the past.
