In my opinion, communicating is the foundation of producing. From the time of the telegram to now a time of an instant text message, communication has greatly evolved. Living in a technological age communication has become a key concept within businesses. The idea of communication through technology has broken the boundaries of distance. With the luxury of web based video chat platforms, such as Skype, Oovoo, and FaceTime, companies both  are easily able to communicate with one another. These tools have made it more efficient for businesses to travel both locally and over seas with out the opportunity cost of time and money. Before, companies may have had to make impulsive decisions when working with international clients, simply because the communication process was too lengthy and inaccessible. . Now we are able to communicate within seconds all across the globe. This allows for the production of goods to not only be made more efficiently, but more detailed. Every opinion is taken into consideration when using the tools of communication in the production process. However there can be down sides to the use of technology when communicating. We have all probably experienced occasions when there is miscommunication and a message is not correctly conveyed. Whether there is misinterpretation or technical difficulties. But generally it’s an occasion when we can thank our wonderful “SMART” phones for that lovely “autocorrect” that’s never actually CORRECT. However that’s probably a whole other blog post that I could write.
