Whether it is a PC or a Computer...you still connect and socialise!!!


Computers and PC have become so popular and are another way for people to communicate and socialize with people from all over the world without writting letters and making a phone call like the old generation used to. People used to write letters to their Friends and family, as well as sending cards on every special occasions. This way of communication use to take too long for people to get their replies and sometimes letters will go missing or end up not reaching the receiver.But ever since there has been this New Media technology, people can now write to their loved ones and get a reply at the same time through: chatting online or simply sending an email. The email is safer and even though it is not guarantied that a person will get the email all the time but it is much better than a letter sent by post. Even if the person doesn't receive the mail, there is always the message that the sender receive informing them if the mail was received or not. The computers have made it easy for people to find new friends, communicate with the old ones from all over the world, make business deals and so on just by sending each other pictures and see people what other people are up to especially if you haven't seen them in a long time. Also for those who like to take cruises around the world, they can easily access information about that particular place by simply logging in on their website.Many organizations have adopted the use of Internet in order to communicate with their internal and external stakeholders. The internal stakeholders being: the managers, employees and the public practitioners of the organization. This source of communication can be used for various forms for conveying messages to the relevant stakeholders. For an example the organization can use the Internet to advertise their products for the benefit of their customers, as well as to let their target market aware of their services. But they are other factors that could lead to the website to fail or rather not serve the required purpose of the website for the company. This need to be facilitated by a person who has knowledge and skills on how to use the website, because most of the valuable information about the organisation is saved on the computer.The lack of knowledge and how to make use of the facilities provided in the Internet could be one of the reasons that lead to the website to be unsuccessful. And the other reason could also be that some organization turn to abandon their websites and they don’t know how to take advantage of them commercially. Although many organizations still regard a mere web presence as sufficient, there is an increased recognition that a website should achieve specific business objectives for an instance better customer services and relationship. Some theorists argue that some corporate websites are created or designed by specialists who have different views or ideas as how to set the website. Those different ideas might just be different from those of the company. It is also important to assess the specialists’ personal characteristics and attitudes because they may be influenced by the media’s effect in decision making. That can have an effect on the way that they design the website and might share common values on determining content and design of the corporate website."Facebook" this has become the most other popular form of communication for all different types of people. It is way of connecting with different people from all over the world. But most importantly , we get to connect with our high school friends and know more people in and around your area. So it can make you popular. Atleat i think it will!!!But what happens if you do not have a lot of friends???It OK because you can just simply ask people to become your friends. Well chances are they will conform or ignore you. Now that's a bad one. But still does facebook make you popular? I mean to me its simply chatting to my friends or going through their pictures if I'm too far to see them all the time, but claiming to have friends when you don't know them and can only be friends through or only on Facebook doesn't make you popular. I don't know maybe I'm still to learn more about it!!!!!!! All in all, all these mentioned above are a way for people to talk to each other, they may not be seeing each other everyday, but this kind of communication makes it seem like they are together everyday and everytime they want to talk to each other or socialise.
