Not too long ago, the only way you could communicate with someone was to talk to them in person
or by using the phone connected to the wall in your house. This is definitely not the case anymore.
These days, besides using
the phone for calling or texting, there are many different ways to communicate with
others online.
Social networking applications like Twitter and Facebook allow people to
post their thoughts online for others to read.
YouTube and Instagram are examples of applications that allow users to instantly and easily
share images and videos to each other.
Google+ is an example of an online 'hangout' - a network that allows
you to share thoughts, videos, images, or events instantly - real time - with others.
A weblog or blog is an online journal.
People write
blog posts to talk about their thoughts, ideas,
experiences, feelings, and many other things.
An email is an electronic
message sent through the internet.
