Internet and Communication

Traditional Communication VS Internet Communication

• Most traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol television (IPTV). 

• Newspaper, book and other print publishing are adapting to website technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds.

• The Internet has enabled and accelerated new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking.

• Online shopping has boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and traders. Business-to-business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire industries.
