Methods of Communication


In the beginning we used the internet or the web to search for various topics of interest.  We were limited to reading articles, viewing photos and watching short video clips.  The web became more popular when it turned into a social web, originally known as Web 2.0.  This new feature allowed users to communicate and share whatever they wanted on the web in various different ways.
