Communication – The Missing Bit

Apr 15

Tweet Many Forms of Communication There are so many forms of communication nowadays it is really easy to lose track.  Who knew that in my lifetime I would be able to hold a device in my hand and see and talk to a person in Australia.  I never imagined when I was at school that I would be able to send a letter to someone anywhere in the world and have them receive it on their computer just...
