Presenting information in different ways.

Presenting information in different ways

Presenting information in different ways includes standard fixed information. For example sound, visual and audio. Sound can be presented via computer, phone etc. Visual is where you can see someone on your device. For example; Face time, Skype, Msn etc. Visual communication such as 'Face time' on iPhone you can do through the internet as well even though it is set up to use as your mobile network. If you have the internet and are connected to it, it will set that up so that you can communicate visually via your phone. Audio is where you can send audio messages where they can only hear your voice and where you can receive them and hear them. Text based information is usually easy to understand and most people are familiar and comfortable with reading text messages. This is the main way of most people communicating via their phones. The visual calls are easy to use and the majority of websites that let you make video calls are free. The communication over the internet adds a level of security that does not exist face-to-face. However it takes longer than verbal conversation and it’s hard to reply to all the points in a message, easily leaving questions unanswered.

A good point about presenting information through text is that a large amount of information and detail can be conveyed within a text. A bad point about using text to present your information is that a large amount of text can be difficult to read and process. Also it is not very good for understanding data, numbers, trends etc. Also the font styles that people use can sometimes be difficult for other people to understand. Symbols are often combined with text to help explain what they mean. The disadvantage of this is that you need to understand what they mean and that they take longer to perceive.

People present their work in different way in order to fit for purpose and audience.  Different publications are designed for different audience.

  2. I love this blog post that you have done! There is a dramatic difference between static websites and websites that change all of the time. Big companies such as coca cola have got to change all of the time to keep up with their customers, where as school websites do not need to keep up with there students in as much as big companies do.

  3. the points you make are excellent, you could explain how different file types can be sent as attachments on emails, such as how you can send either a standard document, an mp3 file, a picture or even a video.

  4. I think search engines have enabled an easy way in using search terms to find millions of matching items, which is good for newer businesses and for any website using marketing techniques.
