=Network Communication Applications= Erin Nitz

ICT is used to communicate over the internet, through mobile phones, etc.

Within the internet there are three main ways that people use to communicate. Instant messages, electronic mail (e-mail), and electronic conferences/internet telephony services.

Instant messages are notes sent back and forth between the two of you, it's faster than e-mail and is used when both people are online instead of e-mails when you may have to wait any length of time before the other person comes online and sees your message. Free applications on the internet such as 'MSN' or 'Yahoo Messenger' allow you to "Chat" with friends. With these applications you can: - Create a chat room with friends or co-workers which create a <2 way chat. - Chat privately between two people (this is also available through mobile phones if they connect to the internet). - Paste web address' that will automatically link to the webpage. - Send and receive videos, for example if you paste a youtube address the video will pop up in your chat window and you can view it. - Send and receive photos that are stored on your computer. - Send and receive files such as microsoft documents and music files.
