This can become a barrier to communicating because it seems so repetitive and boring after a while and a business may find this annoying and stop working with the business. They are only one purpose for a business letter as well; to send a letter to a business which means in only has one target audience and may not be suitable for he purpose that is needed, for example you need to write quick statement rather than a detailed writing so you would rather do a presentation.
Instant Messaging (IM)
The purpose of Instant Messaging is the exchange of text messages through a software application in real-time. Generally included in the IM software is the ability to easily see whether a chosen friend, co-worker. It is always written in an informal language, for example this is done depending on the relationship between the co-workers, and they would usually use the IM software to ask an another worker that the need something or need to ask something. This can be an aid towards a successful communication because by this you are making work more efficient and more work can be done because worker is then not wasting time going to find someone to ask them something. The medium of IM is usually done electronically on a computer. Being able to use video chat because it would be like a video conference, and it would save you a lot of money this way, for example, having a business meeting from two different locations. This can be a barrier because a lack of access could lead to a bad Internet connection making the video chat unreliable making it dependence on technology. It’s a private way of communicating through business so important information can’t be lost, for example in a business everyone has a username and password to access the own workspace so that stops unauthorized access, which makes this an advantage for the company because it keeps information private meaning it can help employees improve on their work.
Presentation
The purpose of a presentation is showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience in short sharp notes that catch the attention of the audience and bright pictures that also do this. For example in a business a meeting maybe held and to help get a message across using a presentation can help this be made successful. This can become an aid to communication by making the speed of delivery and employee will actually remember something from the meeting unlike a person giving a lecture for the whole verbally. A presentation is always done of a computer on such programs as Microsoft PowerPoint. The text on a Microsoft PowerPoint can easily be edited or changed to suit the purpose for a certain type of presentation. For example if someone was colour blind and couldn’t see the colour red it can be easily being changed so the can see the colour. The format of a presentation is done in pages. For example a presentation page should not contain a lot of writing because a presentation can be made boring from this so by keeping as much little information on a page makes it more understandable and this making than aid towards a successful communication because it is making the speed of delivery very fast.
Video Conferencing
The purpose of video conferencing is when two or more people at different locations can see and hear each other at the same time, sometimes even sharing computer applications for collaboration. For example when a business needs to speak to a business contact a long distance away, and they want to see the person as well. This can be an aid to successful communication because facial expressions can tell an important story rather than just listening to their voice. By this the medium of video conferencing is electronically done verbally and can be done written depending on the software used. This can be an aid because using two different mediums can be more effective and useful because it can be helpful to the person that you are using videoconferencing with.
