Why is it Important?
Without digital communication we would all still be writing to each other in a letter and then mailing that letter to the person's address or just talking face to face. The world revolves around communication. Think about how often you talk to people in a day face to face and digital. Now which one do you spend more time on? Digital or face to face? Some of you guys probably said digital. Digital communication doesn't even have to be having a conversation with someone but also delivering a message. Websites are a form of communication because some author wrote a website and they are now delivering that website so that anyone can have access to it. If you think about it, the whole digital world is a form of communication toward whom it may appeal to.

How Does Digital Communication Help Us?
Modern day life is consumed by technology. Without it, life would not be nearly the same. The digital world is growing bigger and more powerful. Think way back when there were only desktops that were about a foot thick and ran pretty slow. Now look at today where we are able to browse the web with just the touch of fingers to our phones. During long car trips or going to places we have never been before, we always use Navigation/GPS. The web is communicating with the user to tell us where to go as if someone was talking to them in real life. This makes travel so much easier. When we reach our destination my dad always says, "What would we ever do without Navigation?" Not to mention how easy it is to make a call. Digital communication is used everyday when someone calls 911 for help. This is a lot more enhanced because of the fact that we have cell phones and all you need to do is tap your phone. This is a lot more effective rather than going to a payphone. This is how Digital Communication can help you in your life.
