Explain the term- Electronic Mail (email)
Another form of communication is through email. This has the below advantages over video conferencing:
- There are no language problems (systems can translate messages sent)
- It's possible to read emails whenever you want - there are no issues of time differences as would be case with video conferencing. If some delegates lived in USA and others lived in India, for instance, time difference is 10 to 14 hours which could be a problem)
- It could be argued that email system is cheaper as there is no requirement to buy webcams, special software etc.
