-Im Brunela balbi and we are representing Hudson.
Both me and martu are in favour of the topic Technology and communication: “It is said that
technology has improved communication in countless ways over the last decades. Do you
agree?
We absolutely agree.
Throughout the history of mankind, man has used different forms of
communicate, from communication with signs, to remote communication by
means of advanced technological devices. The progress made in the area of
telecommunications have allowed man to perform in a more
efficient, and it is this efficiency that has largely motivated companies to
set greater challenges among your workers. In this way, it has been
alternatives of great impact over time such as the Internet, cell phones,
cable tv, etc.

Speed and time
Through internet communication, time and money are saved. This is because it is much
cheaper and quicker to transfer information around. It also becomes faster and efficient to
contact a business partner or a relative. We can now communicate with anyone around the
world through emails and text messages instantly. The internet has also provided face-to-face
communication, thanks to Skype, social media sites, video conferencing, and many other
ways offered by communication companies.
Instantaneous and Efficient
When communicating with technology, you can find and deliver data to your employee or
customer anywhere. When you need to contact your employee on the field, you can text
message or email his smartphone or tablet both simple and complex information rather than
he being forced to wait until he arrives back at your facility to receive it. With the high-
quality digital still and video cameras available, you can provide pictures or video quickly
and in very high resolution to help your employee complete a task. A customer can get real-
time information as to the status of an appointment and can communicate needs in a prompt
manner. She can also provide helpful feedback quickly so you are able to fill her need
quickly and efficiently.
IT IS MORE VERSATILE
As well as sending messages and to-do lists, ways of business communication also includes
sharing ideas.
These can be presented in a range of different ways, the most popular being presentations.
They are a great way to share business ideas using technology. They generally involve plans
for the development of the business or solutions for any problems.
And presentations have gone a long way since making an amateur-looking PowerPoint on a
PC.
Nowadays, they can be presented in a range of alternative ways. One of the best is on an
interactive display – which is a great alternative to interactive whiteboards – in a huddle
room.
This creates an intimate setting where those viewing the presentation can easily see the screen
and work out what it details. Interactive displays are touch-sensitive and can be drawn upon
(with the right tool of course!), making them a fantastic way to communicate different
messages.
Avocor have a range of interactive displays, perfect for any kind of boardroom or huddle
room.
Job creation
One major advantage of internet communication is the creation of new and exciting jobs.
System analysts, computer programmers, web designers, hardware and software developers
and many other new opportunities created by information communication technology (ICT).
IT IS REMOTE
One of the main advantages of technology in workplace communications is how easy it now
is to communicate with remote workers. The workplace of the futureis relying more on
remote employees so it is vital to have platforms that can communicate with them.
It also means that employees can talk while they are not physically in the same place. It must
be said that this isn’t always considered a good thing – having to ‘always be online’ has
caused a decline in some people’s mental health, but it is handy in some instances.
This was impossible when businesses were relying on landline phones and fax machines. But
nowadays, messaging applications and large amounts of mobile data make it very feasible.
Globalization
The internet has indeed brought people closer, and also helped in economic growth. It has
also brought down geographical and language boundaries. The universe has become a global
village due to information technology, permitting countries such as such as Japan and Ireland
who are separated by language and distance, share information and ideas with one another.
Cost effective
It is so cheap to send an email to another country than making a phone call. The internet has
also helped to systematize business practices helping businesses to cut cost.
Low Cost of Ownership
The true cost of technology to communicate when you compare it with much slower means
of communication such as mail delivery is relatively low. As technology continues to be
standardized and made more efficient, the cost of using it in communication continues to
decline. While the actual cost of a traditional communication method such as mailing a letter
may be very small, the actual cost in lost efficiency and misplaced letters should be
considered carefully. In a small business, some things can wait, while others simply cannot.
Improve education sector

The internet has made it possible for numerous computer programs to be shared with
different generations in different parts of the world. Important information such health,
business and environment facts are easily available to any person with an internet connection.
More business opportunities

Information communication technology (ICT) has made it easier for businesses to be
automated allowing customers to contact them 24/7. This means that a company can be
opened anywhere, anytime, allowing clients to make purchases from different countries. This
makes business easier and more convenient. For example, the use of ezTalks has helped
many businesses work together instant and simultaneously. Companies using ezTalks are able
to share and access large files without delays, get updates in real time, and ensure every staff
participation no matter where they are or at what time.
Eliminates the cultural gap

The internet has helped to bridge the gap. People from different nations can easily
communicate with each other, allowing the exchange of ideas and views.
A Bunch of Other Advantages

With technology, you can have live video conversations with people in multiple countries
using simple webcams and a teleconference service, an option much more efficient and less
expensive than flying all involved parties to a central location to meet. You can communicate
new products or services to people throughout the world – in real time using social media –
who can purchase your goods at any hour on your website. You are in effect open 24 hours a
day to anyone on Earth with internet access using eCommerce technology. These customers
can browse your FAQ links to answer questions until a live adviser is available to assist.
Inexpensive or free language translation is available on the internet on sites like Google
Translate, which help bridge cultural communications' hurdles to facilitate worldwide
customer service.
YOU CAN TALK IN REAL TIME

It goes without saying that it is a lot easier to talk quickly using apps than more old-fashioned
methods, like telephone and fax.
Using workplace technology advantages, it is possible to speak to people in real time,
whether that be over a messaging app or via video call on your PC, tablet or even interactive
display.
There are a variety of apps that are great for internal communication and can also be used to
communicate with people in the company from other locations. Business communication
apps include:
● Slack – this chatting app is streamlined well, with a great layout and interface. It
is easy to find conversations, links and files that are shared and it is possible to
create a Google Hangout from inside the chat room.
● Campfire – this application features password-protected group chats.
● Wrike – this is a handy project management tool for small teams.
IT IMPROVES CUSTOMER RELATIONS

Companies that have adopted techniques for using technology to communicate in the
workplace are leaping ahead in terms of customer relations.
Many businesses have taken to using bots on their Facebook page which can quickly and
easily answer customers’ questions.
Video messaging applications like Google Hangouts are great tools that can help businesses
speak to customers internationally.
Developing a great app is another fantastic way to use technology to create a great customer
relations base and communicate with customers.
People who frequently use the services of a business will download the app and use it to
contact them with comments, questions or improvements.
Easy Archiving and Retrieval

Technology has made documentation and archiving of communication quick and easy. With
the use of databases and inexpensive storage, you can save emails and other communications
and can query them as needed for future use. Compare that with filing paper copies in an
immense array of expensive file cabinets to attempt to archive later and it is easy to see a cost
and efficiency savings in documentation. The required space to store cabinets and the
employees to find the data, not to mention the gradual degradation of ink on paper, makes
traditional means of documenting communication quite challenging and inefficient.
IT IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Keeping in contact with people remotely, rather than using letters, if of course very beneficial
to the environment. Vince Digneo, who is the sustainability strategist at Adobe, stated that
“the greenest paper is no paper at all”; obviously it is a lot more sustainable to use technology
to communicate with people.
In the modern world, not many people send physical letters. However, we do still use over
12.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard every year, a large percentage of which is in the
office.
Therefore, there are ways that we can cut back on paper, some when we are communicating
internally. Rather than leaving a note for someone, for example, save the paper and send them
an instant message. Or, rather than sticking post it notes physically on your computer to
communicate with yourself, use Evernote Sticky Note service to leave electronic notes on
your desktop.
In the US, printed documents produce 90% of all office waste and the other 10% is in storage
facilities.
While these are not necessarily used for business communication methods, it stands that we
should be reducing our paper waste in the office as much as possible and we can easily start
doing this by communicating in different ways.
SECURITY IS INCREASING
The more technology develops, the more secure it becomes. Using emails, especially when
they were sent out to the entire office, without adequate security was a recipe for disaster.
Nowadays, most apps use end to end encryption, meaning that the messages can only be read
by the sender and receiver.
Smartphones, tablets and Apple computers have security software implemented to make sure
they are immune to hackers, and nowadays security can be purchased for Microsoft
computers as well.
This means that emails are a lot less likely to be hacked. Moreover, external programmes
often require a password to login and have features like encryption, making them more
secure.

ADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY IN BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
CONCLUSION
The impact and use of technology in business communication is increasing and unignorable.
While it may only seem minor to change a form of messaging or presenting to colleagues, it
has some very real benefits that can affect all parts of the business. Including security,
customer relations, eco-friendliness, and ultimately a positive impact on a business’s bottom
line.
