Trivia: Did you know that 

The term communication came from Latin word'Communis' which means'common'.It also means“to make known". Communication is imparting, conveying or exchanging of ideas and knowledge whether by speech, writing or signs.

Communications technology, also known as information 

technology, refers to all equipment and programs that are used to process and communicate information. Professionalsin the communicationtechnology field specialize in the development, installation, and service of these hardware and software systems.

Types of Communication Technology

1.Human to Human

Human communication, or anthroposemiotics, is the field dedicated to understanding how humans communicate. Human communication is grounded in cooperative and shared intentions. It is said that humans communicate to request help, to inform others, and to share attitudes as a way of bonding.

2.Human to Machine

Human to Machine communication is a form of communication where humans interact with a variety of devices like sensors and actuators. It can improve quality of life through the accessibility to smart devices, which has sensory inputs and assist with everyday tasks.

3. Machine to Human

Machine to human combination is a form of communication in which humans co-work with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and other machines as opposed to utilizing them as tools or devices.

4. Machine to Machine

Machine to machine is direct communication between devices using any communications channel,including wired and wireless. Machine to machine communication can include industrial instrumentation, enabling a sensor or meter to communicate the information it records (such as temperature, inventory level, etc.) to application software that can use it (for example, adjusting an industrial process based on temperature or placing orders to replenish inventory).

Communication technology uses equipment and systems to send and receive information. This technology communicates information using graphic and wave systems. "Graphic" comes from a word meaning "to draw or write, as on paper" and wave is a radio waves kind of technology.

Graphic Communication

Graphic communication involves the use of visual material to relate ideas such as drawings, photographs, slides, and sketches. The drawings of plans and refinements and a rough map sketched to show the way could be considered graphical communication.

Wave Communication

This systems depend on an energy source called electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is energy moving through space in waves and it travels at the speed of light.

Electronic Communication

People can use light, sound or electrical waves to send information. The information is coded at the source and it is transmitted (sent) to the receiver. There, the code must be changed back to information.

AIDA Model

AIDA is a communication model used by firms to help them sell their products and services. AIDA is an acronym for Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.

Attention

When a product is launched the first goal is to grab attention. Firms spend millions thinking about how to grab attention for their product. The method used to gain attention will depend on the product, options include sponsorship, hospitality events and large promotion campaigns.

Interest

Once you have secured people's attention, the next job is to hold their interest. This is done by promoting product features and clearly stating the benefit the product has to offer. The aim at this stage is to provide the customer with information that will move them to the next stage of the process, desire.

Desire

The third stage is desire; at this point you want the information (interest) customers have about your product to create a desire to have your product. A unique selling point will help customers desire it over competitor products.

Action

The final stage is the purchase action, if a company has been successful with its AIDA strategy then customers will purchase its products. The task at this stage is to help the purchase action by making it as simple as possible. 

I've learn that communication is the easiest way to interact around the world because of the development of technology,  and we should always use it for goodness. 

Communication Aids and Strategies Using Tool of Technology

Last week discussion is about Communication Aids and Strategies Using Tool of Technology were the objectives are: To determine the various presentation that are commonly used.
To evaluate the effective strategies in preparing and using these media when communicating. To identify the most appropriate media/medium in a given speech situation and Apply the strategies in making digital slides.

PRESENTATION MEDIA is a independent presentation that contains information using slides, video, recordings and digital representation. 

COMMUNICATION TOOLS

FLIPCHART a large pad paper that a rest on easel allowing the speaker to record text or drawings with markers during the speech.

WHITE BOARD AND CHALK BOARD these materials can also help you achieve the same outcome as a flipchart on an ease.

DOCUMENT CAMERA is  a projector device that's uses a video camera to capture and display images, including 3D visual materials

VIDEO showing a video clip can elicit an emotional response from the audience and improve their recall of your speech.

HANDOUTS are the sheet of paper containing relevant information that some speakers using in conjunction with other presentation media.sheet of paper containing relevant information that some speak. 

MODELS a copy of an object, usually built to scale that represents the object in detail and useful for describing and explaining scientific topics.

SOUND RECORDINGS sounds like visual images can stimulate mental images, triggering the imagination and setting a mood

USING COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY 

DIGITAL SLIDES a presentation software commonly using Powerpoint. It allows computer users to display information in multi-media slide shows

REAL TIME WEB ACCESS to demonstrate how to do something special on the web. 

STRATEGIES USING TOOLS OF TECHNOLOGY

First, keep it simple, always emphasize your key idea,  show what you can't say, use close up shots and other images, keep the number of images you present manageable and combine variety with coherence. 

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION TIPS

Go for creativity, create your own design, try a different combination and let your activity flow. Colors are nice, flat colors are beautiful and contrast is your friend. Use good fonts, Comic sans and Gregoria will do. Text is evil,  use the 10-20-30 rule, too many things will catch the attention of the audience for you. Images say more than a thousand words,  make the images more powerful. Big a beautiful,  think big, think bold. Infographics are amazing,  use simple infographics.

TIPS OF USING PRESENTATION MEDIA

Practice with your media

Consider your room and audience 

Speak to your audience not your media

For me, 9P's Prior Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance of the Putting on the Presentation is remarkable, that I will keep in mind because this mean that I should always try and practice for the good outcomes. This reminds me that there always a hardworking and multiple times practice before excellences. 

I've learn about the discussion last week is the progression of presenting information. Were the technology are depeloping and changing through time that is favorable to people, because nowadays we can able to share our ideas in unique and easiest way.
