current communication methods..

So far ive looked at some old forms of communication aswell as some more unusual ideas.

But the current generation of comunication is that of the electronic kind, e-mail, IM, text messaging, as well as phone calls.

These can all be accessed on the move with the use of many mobile phones out, commonly called smart phones due to the increase of functions, A user can send and receive a range of messages and quickly get in contact with someone via phone calls.

social networking sites have also increased the amount of communication on a daily basis. Twitter, a form of instant messenger enables a user to be "followed."

The amount of tweets produced daily are roughly 40 million, this number has sky rocketed since the twitter phenomenon took off with thegeneral public.



as you can see from the graph the amount and the short time its taken to reach them highs.

This is substantial proof that in a sense the internet (and/or smartphone use) is what makes this amount of communication posible, quickly.

this also shows me that to repurpose a method of communication is to take an old method where this massive range of users was not accesable, and combine the two (or three) to create an exciting new outcome.
