“We as a species have a deep urge to communicate, so if something is technologically feasible, we will pursue it sooner rather than later,” said Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most celebrated science fiction authors of our time, whose writings helped inspire British scientist Tim Berners-Lee to invent the World Wide Web. “Virtually everything we wish to do in the field of communications is now within the reach of our technology. The only remaining limitations are financial, legal or political.”

As Clarke points out, revolutionary forms of communication have changed the world and will continue to do so. One area where the impact has been felt the greatest is in business. Modern forms of technology have allowed more businesses to form, branch out and thrive under a new model of communication.

Who needs to rent office space when email, fax machines and web services can help business owners run things from the comfort of their own home? Email has closed the worldwide business gap. A writer from India can easily work with a client in Ireland without ever meeting or even talking with them about a project. Email is an effective and cost-efficient way to keep in touch with a client. One quick message at your convenience lets the client know that you’re on top of the project. Unlike that old-fashioned device called the telephone, email can track all correspondence about an assignment. No more trying to remember the details of a conversation or playing phone tag.

Having a Web-based portfolio gives clients the ability to review your work on the spot. When documents are involved, Internet fax services are available and PDF formats allow the client to view samples and proofs using email attachments.

All of your advertising can also be done online by targeting sites that are the most relevant to your products or services. Static and animated ads can be effective, but are also one-dimensional in terms of response. Using HTML and Javascript ads add depth and expand the capabilities for response.

Like any business, however, running it strictly online can have obstacles. The world of Web communication is certainly efficient, but it can be a bit impersonal and cold. Reassure clients by killing them with kindness. Even in today’s high-tech age, there are many people who are uncomfortable working with someone they have never seen. Furthermore, technology is still a mystery to many, so opening email attachments, video conferencing and dealing with file incompatibilities can inhibit the most important part of the job – communication.
