Technology has impacted the world positively, changing how people communicate in medical, social, economic, among other circles. Here are the following ways that technology has improved communication for the betterment of humans’ interactions.
Communication Made Convenient
Remember those days when your doorbell rang in the middle of the night, and you hesitated to walk to the door on account of fatigue? With the presence of intercoms, those days are a thing of the past. Now, instead of walking to the door to answer a knock, all that is required is for you to push the button and see who’s there. Once you are satisfied with the identity of the person, you can let them in. Modern intercom systems that have both audio and video transmissions can go between $1,500 and $6,000. Wireless intercom systems are easier to install and have less hardware, and therefore less expensive than wired systems.
Intercoms in the medical sector have proven to be helpful in summoning the presence of surgeons and doctors to attend to a patient in need of immediate attention.
Communication Made Reliable
Plenty of technological commercials on television and radio address the issue of reliable communication. Over 72% of people inside a building encounter dropped calls and slow download speeds. Now, with Distribution Antenna Systems (DAS), the process of sending and receiving information inside office buildings, hotels, malls, medical centers, campuses, and stadiums has now been made reliable. Businesses with DAS installed in their premises have obtained good reviews owing to fast and reliable communication between workers and civilians alike.
Communication Made Abundant
Just type any word that comes to mind and search on Google, and what do you get? Thousands of results that display relevant information that relates to your searched word from countless websites. The global number of websites working on a daily basis at the same time is estimated to be standing at 1.8 billion. Plenty of information on the Internet has helped people to make informed decisions about where to eat, where to study, where to find work, and where to get the best private medical care through vast Internet information stemming from a host of miscellaneous websites.
Communication Ensuring Work Amid Covid-19.
Roughly 33% of American workers always work remotely, but those now working from home have increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Indeed, the American economy has been shaken to its foundations, due to the fact that a lot of economic operations that require human contact have been halted.
Thanks to online communication platforms like Zoom, Skype, and smartphone video calls, some workers are still working in the comfort of their homes to curb the spread of the virus. In addition, students are still learning with the adoption of E-learning platforms like Coursera, DataCamp, and Pluralsight. Due to the fast movement of news owing to social media and the Internet, people get updated quickly on COVID-19 updates and the latest medical research about viruses.
Communication Decentralized
Gone are the days when Americans relied on broadcasting agencies for news. A 2015 digital news report showed that 32% shared the news through social media and email. Now, anyone can spread information on events that they see themselves before the news crew comes to study the scene. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have activated citizen journalism that spreads news faster. Anyone can now offer their individual medical opinions in the face of secular medical research.
Communication in various circles, from medical, academic to social avenues, has been made more reliable, convenient, fast, and full due to the advent of technology.
