Unit 56: Digital Communications
Email
Electronic mail other wise known as email or e-mail since approximately 1993, is a simple method of exchanging digital messages from one person to another or more recipients. Technology has transformed and email operate across the internet or other computer networks. When emails and emailing was first created both recipients had to be online to receive the email however todays email system are based on a store and forward model. The email servers can forward, deliver and store messages meaning neither computers are required to be online; only need to connect briefly to an email server for as long as the message takes to send or receive. The first actual email message system was in 1973. Convesion from ARPANET to the internet in the early 1980s produced to core of the current services. Although technology has changed over the years an email sent in the early 1970s looks very similar to a basic message sent on the Internet today. Network based email was firstly exchanged on the ARTPANET in extentions to the File Transfer Protocol, however today it is carried by the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. An actual Internet email message consists of three components; the message envelope, the message header and the message body.
IM
Instant messaging is a type of online chat which offers real - time text transmission over the internet. Short messages are typically transmitted bi-directionally between two parties, when each user chooses to complete a thought and select "send". Some IM clientscan use push technology to provide real-time text, which transmits messages character by character, as they are composed. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. The first dedicated online chat service was the CompuServe CB Simulator in 1980, created by CompuServe. Since 2010 social networking provided IM. Facebook Chat on Facebook and Direct Messages on Twitter are both example of IM on social sites. Instant messaging are not just used for sending text messages but also can offer video calling, voice clips, and sending videos and photos. Mobile instant messaging is the service which can be accessed from portable devices; ranging from standard mobile phones to smartphones. Android, Blackberry, iOS, and Windows Phone all offer instant messaging.
SMS
SMS other wise known as Short Message Service is a text messaging service on phone, web or mobile communication systems. It uses standardized communications protocols to allow fixed line or mobile phone devices to exchange short text messages. The most widely used data application is SMS, an estimated 3.5 billion active users. The actual term SMS is used for all types of short text messaging and the user activity itself in many parts of the world. Text messaging to mobile devices first began in the early 1980's. In December 1982 CEPT Group GSM was approved. Today SMS is very developed, in 2010 6.1 trillion SMS text messages were sent, this means 193000 messages per second. SMS is a large commercial industry; earning $114.6 billon globally in 2010.
Bulletin Board
A bulletin board otherwise known as a pin board or notice board is a surface used for posting public messages for example used to advertise events, provide information and even advertise things. Most Bulletin boards are made of cork style material to facilitate additional and removal of messages. Bulletin Board also can be used on a computer network which makes it easier to read and see it but then erase the notes. Traditional bulletin boards are quickly becoming replaced by internet forums. Online bulletin boards are often called messages boards. The terms bulletin board, message and even Internet forum are interchangeable, although often one bulletin board or message board can contain many internet forums or discussion groups. Some people think an online board is better then a physical bulletin board as it serves the same purpose but can be changed automatically and easily.
Discussion Forum
A discussion forum is a hierarchical or tree-like structure. A forum can contain a number of subforums, each of which may have several topics. Within a forums topic each new discussion started is called a thread and can be replied to by as many people as wanted.
Weblogs
Weblogs is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete posts typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Before 2009 blogs were usually created by just one person, occasionally a small group, and often covered a single subject. Recently though 'multi-author blogs' have developed with posts written by large numbers of authors and personally edited. Multi-author blogs from newspapers and other media outlet account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The sudden rise of Twitter and other micro-blogging systems help integrate multi-author blogs and single-author blogs into social new-streams.
Newsgroups
A newsgroup is an online forum for individuals to discuss various topics amongst each other.People can add their comments by posting a block text to the group, others then can comment and respond. In the early days of the Internet, USENET was the most popular type of newsgroups, but now discussions mostly take place over the World Wide Web using special server software. The term Newsgroup encompasses web-based forums, bulletin boards, listservers and electronic mailing lists. Newsgroups differ from chatrooms and instant messaging because they mostly deal with one topic and personal exchanges are typically discouraged. News
groups are often archived. These archives may be organized by thread, which means all the messages that reply to a starting message can be read in some order. Participants in Newsgroups should realize that what they have to say will be public knowledge for years to come.
Internet Telephony
The term Internet telephoney refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the Internet rather than via pubic telephone networks. The steps and principles involved in originating telephone calls are similar to traditional digital telephony, and involve signaling, channel setup, digitization of the analog voice signals, and encoding. Instead of being transmitted over a circuit-switched network, however, the digital information is packetized and transmission occurs as Internet Protocol (IP) packets over a packet-switched network. Internet Telephoney is available on many smartphones, personal computers and on Internet access devices.Calls and SMS text messages may be sent over 3G or Wi-Fi.
Conferencing (video and audio)
Conferencing otherwise known as video conference is a set of telecommunications technologies which allow two or more locations to communicate by simultaneous two way video and audio transmissions. Its also called 'visual collaboration' and is a type of groupware.Videoconferencing is different from videophone calls as its designed to serve a conference or multiple locations rather than individuals. It is an intermediate form of videotelephoney, first deployed commercially in the United States by AT&T Corporation during the early 1970s as part of their development of Picture phone technology.With the introduction of relatively low cost, high capacity broadband telecommunication services in the late 1990s, together with powerful computing processors and video compression techniques, videoconferencing has made significant inroads in business, education, medicine and media. Like all long distance communications technologies (such as phone and Internet), by reducing the need to travel to bring people together the technology also contributes to reductions in carbon emissions, thereby helping to reduce global warming.
