Speed: An Intriguing Factor of Communication Technologies

The word "communication technology" brings to our minds a plethora of images but one image that persists is that of a work table having a computer and a telephone on it. In today's fast paced life style it is not only the technology that matters but its speed too. Imagine living without instant messaging, text messaging, mobile phones and high speed internet, it would surely seem like a strenuous living to us.

Speed counts when you are working be it a multinational firm or other wise. Without a high speed internet connection the work will be too much and the wait too long. Even if we do not acknowledge it, these things do have a strong hold over us. Internet helps us in collecting, monitoring and processing a vast amount of data enabling us to give the world on our fingertips within a millisecond.

My work as an Administrator means that i have respond to a query as soon as i can or it might result in a huge loss. People get an instant solution to their problems and i get the gratification of not having to make one wait to provide a solution.
