Modern Methods of Business Communication

Effective Communication is quintessential to businesses nowadays. Businesses spend large sums of money every to make sure that they gain the upper hand in this very competitive global market.

Technology has eased ways previously thought impossible and now businesses communicate with a wide array of technological aids.

However, there are cons as well as pros of using modern methods of communication:

• Video-conferencing allows some of the benefits of meeting in person without the travel - especially if the purpose of the meeting is transactional
  
• Telephone - personal but loses the nuance of body expressions - a major part of communication. Voicemail and ’call waiting’ have generated enormous revenues although their effectiveness is debatable.
  
• Mobile phone - if a conventional call is to a location, a call to a mobile is to a person. Some people think that the major use of this is as a tool for making calls...
  
• Letter - still an excellent tool for contractual and complex communications, also for drawings.
  
• E-mail - quicker and cheaper than a letter, the biggest danger here is that too few people re-read what has been written before hitting the ’send’ button. Also a point of danger for systems - you won’t get anthrax but some e-mails will be as terminal to your office systems if you aren’t careful.
  
• Fax - the last ’big thing’ before e-mail usurped it; is still an excellent tool for getting pictures sent quickly.
  
• Text -For the worst of all worlds, SMS ("Texting") to a mobile ’phone is high on impact but often low on clarity and personalization.
  
• Computer systems can talk directly to each other - settling invoices direct between company accounts for instance.
  
• Websites - largely aimed at one-way communications, the Internet has transformed the way that we can get hold of information.

Browsing Ebay

eBay.com is an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a broad variety of goods and services worldwide. A majority of the sales take place through a set-time auction format, but subsequent methods include a substantial segment of listings in the "Buy It Now" category

I visited eBay and browsed through a few gadgets, my friends thought they were great value but I felt like deleting that crap from the databases. Finally after a lot of 'picking through the garbage' I found a PS3 Console. This PS3 Console was only available for $1 and this got me very excited. Immediately, I ordered it and began waiting for it. At last, when it arrived, I opened the box only to be blown away by realizing the sheer stupidity of the whole idea of online shopping. Inside the PS3 box, was a printed thumbnail size picture of a PS2 !! It wasn't even A4 and the sheer cheek of the seller, that harami had also framed it ! A passport size framed photo of a PS2, not even a PS3 ! The worst part of all was that I had even payed $1 for it. 

FPS: The next day...I began hacking ebay !
