We can receive messages informing us about the latest news . When something bad happens we can make a phone call to inform people on what is going on.



-Skype - Skype is a program we use to connect with the people around the world. In this program you see the people you are communicating with through the web cam and you hear what they are saying. It's as if the person is actually standing right there in front of you.



-Radio- The radio is very very old creation that is still used these days. There are lots of news channels from around the world. Every single little thing that happens in the country is announced.
