Communication Compass (assignment 1)



1) Digital Communication is the physical transfer of data from a point to point or pint to multi-point communication channel.
2) disadvantages
- It is unreliable as messages sent cannot be recognized by signatures. Software is available for this, but it can easily be hacked.
- Many people misuse the efficiency of digital communication. The sending of hoax messages, the usage of people to harm society, etc to damage society as a whole.
The establishment of Digital Communication causes degradation of the environment in some cases. Electronic waste is an example. The vibes given out by the telephone and cell phone towers are so strong that they can kill small birds. 
- Digital Communication has completely ignored the human touch. A personal touch cannot be established because all the computers will have the same font.
advantages 
-It is comparatively cheaper and the work which requires a lot of people can be done simply by one person as folders and other such facilities can be maintained. 
-It is less expensive, more flexible and easy to manipulate
-In Digital Communication System, the error correction and detection techniques can be implemented easily.
-The messages can be stored in the device for longer times, without being damaged, unlike paper files that easily get damaged.
3) Three popular forms of Digital Communication include Email, High Definition Television and Cell phones. I believe these are all popular as they are extremely handy, easy to use and convenient. People can connect to others or obtain new information with just a click of a button; these up to date features allow their users to easily do as they may all on a TV or computer screen.
4) Three types of Digital Media that may not be around for much longer may include landlines for homes (from the replacement of portable cellphones), any type of social media website such as MySpace or Flickr (simply because they are being replaced by bigger and better social network sites), and Email, which is slowing down from chat-sites and texting.
5) Five locations where you should not be communicating digitally in my opinion include church, during class time, in a at work, at a funeral/ wake, at the dinner table or while driving. I think this because all of these places take a certain amount of respect to be given and communicating digitally would be disrespectful. Also is may be dangerous.
6) 2 dangerous situations in which you should never use digital communications include texting in a vehicle while driving, and using social network in a harmful way such as cyber-bullying, or spreading viruses. These bring danger to your personal life both physically and emotionally. Both can be avoided with using the technology at the right time and place.
7) believe over time, kids will eventually find a healthy lifestyle with technology. It may seem hard to see right now, because the online world is growing, but I think kids will be intelligent with how much they use it. It will only be so long before they see how addicted they are to technology before they smarten up and do something productive with their life.
8) When a person is no longer able to update or keep in touch with their personal online communication, I think there must be something on their will that lets them choose what they want to happen to the account. If I were going to die I would want my account deactivated completely due to the fact it could be hacked, or simply because there is no one alive to update that personal profile anymore. A solution to this growing problem would be to make every person with an online profile and write what they want to do with it before they die on their will.
