"Inbox is Full!"
Communication has come a long way, due extensively to technological advancements. At the same time it could be said that a very large part of the advancements in technology are directly due to increased demand for communication.
Today if you’re headed to St Petersburg, Russia you can text message back and forth with a pal in a market about whether pork or beef is best for dinner while you’re still hours away by plane. Less than 200 years ago you’d be lucky to have any sort of message beat you to your destination; answering services and voicemail was unthinkable. In fact wars often continued to be fought after a side had already given up!
Today, there are many ways that you could choose to send a message or communicate with someone without even talking to them in person or seeing them. But one bonus is that it is quick and easy unlike in the Byzantine Empire Age where messages had to be hand delievered to a recipient and could take weeks to even get a simple reply.
With the emergence of social media sites , applications, Youtube, Skype, texting, electronic mailing, and even talking on the phone, mass communication across the globe can be attained as well as global trade and the diffusion of cultural aspects such as music.
