WHAT IS IT?
Communication technology facilitates communication
between individuals or groups who are not physically
present at the same location. Systems such as telephones,
telex, fax, radio, television, and video are included, as well
as more recent computer-based technologies, including
electronic data interchange over inter/intranets that have
given birth to social networking sites and e-mail.

CONVERGENCE
The term Communication Technology is now used to refer
to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone
networks with computer networks.
This is done using a single unified system of cabling, signal
distribution and management…… cost saved.
In a layman’s language, communication technology is now
net and computer centric; social sites being one such
example.
