Module 2 Concept 5: The mobility of electronic digital data.

Advanced Internet communicators always think about the ways in which their own exploitation of the technological ease of mobile data can impact on other Internet users, seeking to ensure that technical possibility is not simply substituted for effective communication requirements.

This concept is referring to the revolutionary new communication medium which is electronic data (email and other sorts of asynchronous forms of communications). This medium is powerful and easy to use. Any novice internet user can exploit it with ease. However we must remember the key to this kind of technology is the ability to be able to communicate effectively. We must not presume that the ability to send an email to twenty people at the click of a button does not therefore make us effective communicators. Thought should be put into how we can exploit this medium to its full potential. How often have we just passed on information without processing it first.
