How Electronic Communications are Changing our Lives

Millions of people already have experience with electronic communications. Every time they make an airline reservation or use an automatic teller machine or have their credit card checked, they are participating in an electronic communication session. It is not only possible for us to communicate immediately with people and places

via computer using electronic mail (e-mail), it can also be inexpensive and simple to do. E-mail is only one of many “tools” that are appearing along the “electronic superhighway”. This highway is now the quickest way to get to the people we want to “talk to” and the information we want to find. In short, while e-mail is the simplest and most immediate function of the Internet for many people, there are many other fascinating aspects of electronic communication.

The industrial age has developed into information age, in which the means to access, manipulate, and use information have become crucial (решающий, ключевой) to our lives and success as citizens of the global village. The electronic superhighway provides a free entrée to libraries, research institutions, databases, art galleries and countless other sources of data. But for those of us who are interested in intercultural communication, the best part about it all is that Cyberspace is a universal community, with instant access not just to information everywhere, but also to friends old and new around the globe.
