Digital Communication

I think that digital communication is the use of digital devices to communicate with each other, through various forms, these forms can include social networking sites, instant messaging or possibly blogs.

Protocols are something that are set down as a ruling for how things work and the way they work, such as 3G which can be a part of a phone that allows easier wireless access to a variety of things such as data (music). It works by allowing the user to send through wireless communication both voice and non-voice based data at faster speeds than the older versions. It hasn't affected my life in anyway because i haven't had to use it yet but once a i get a new phone this may change.

A device is something that can allow us to communicate through various methods such as input, output and process. A modem is an example of a device that can be used in digital communication, it is used to connect a computer to other computers over a network or to transfer data. in it's uses a modem is mostly seen to be used to communicate from computer to the internet in the transfer of data from the computer user to the internet and back. It works by converting the data that is being sent into a frequency that can travel along a phone line. Having a modem has meant that i have been able to transfer data easily back and forward with friends.

Communication methods have made it very easy for people to communicate with each other through methods such as social networking and instant messaging, an example of instant messaging is Windows Live Messenger (MSN). Window Live Messenger is an easy and convenient way for people to have a conversation online at anytime, day or night. It works as if you were having a one on one conversation with someone just without the face to face part of the conversation. It has affected me due to the fact that i was able to gain stronger friendships through conversations held online with people i may not see very often.

In an overall view digital communication is a vast and expanded form of communication that often makes it easy for people to communicate with each other, whether this non-personal form of communication is seen as just another way to use a reliance on the internet or whether it is a genuine use of the 'Digital Communication' in all its glory.
