How Do We Talk On The Internet?

     Communication nowadays has all but been completely taken over by the internet.  There are many different ways to get a message to someone across the internet but there are ways that are more efficient than others depending on the task.  Social Media is by far one of the most commonly use means of communication on the Internet because it is usually meant for fun.  From Facebook and Twitter to YouTube and Pinterest the common theme is sharing some piece of information with a large number of people, most often then not you will post something for many people to see.
     Email dates back farther than social media but has maintained its position as the primary source of communication on the internet.  Because it is asynchronous, which means that the sender and the receiver do not have to be on at the same time, it is useful for conversations that do not have to be instant, or for subject that may be deemed less critical.
     Other forms of internet communication include VoIP phones, which are phones that go over the internet like data, and Video chatting, like Skype or Google Hangouts.  These are great because they are live and make conversations much faster and direct than Email or Social Media.
