2. Video – Web cameras are used so that two or more people who cannot interact face-to-face can
communicate. Convenient communication mode for people who want to reach out to each other despite
distance.
Examples: Viber, WhatsApp, Apple Facetime, and Facebook Messenger
Video conferencing – in more for formal settings
3. Audio – means transmitted sound. Only the voice of the speaker is heard. An obvious downside of this
mode is not being able to see the body language or cues of the person you are talking to.
4. Text-based communication – does not originally provide video and audio benefits, it has a wider reach and
can disseminate information to a bigger audience quickly. Such as e-mail, facsimile, text messaging, and
instant messaging.
