Chapter 13 – Designing Electronic Communication
Chapter 13 is becoming more relevant in people’s lives today. It deals with the way electronic communication is designed and presented. This is very important because it seems that all of our information today is presented electronically.
An interesting statistic Burnett mentions that from 2000 to 2005, web access has increased by 112 million in the U.S. alone. I wonder how many of us can imagine our lives without the Internet? For one thing, we wouldn’t have this luxury of online classes. But with electronic communication such as the Web, there are new design elements that come in to play. And with the expansion of the Web we have seen more and more intricacies involved with designing web pages and setting them apart from others. Personally, if I get to a website that doesn’t allow me to probe further with links and other resources, I would consider it inadequate and go elsewhere. Basically, in some way shape or form we all use electronic communication. Think real hard and try to name someone who doesn’t have a cell phone, computer or the Internet on their computer. It’s hard and that’s why it’s so important that we understand the Importance of how this electronic info is conveyed.

I think electronic communication has allowed us to continue to grow technologically. Nothing could replace the ability to open a web browser, and have search results in seconds. Also, I had the experience of using Agile, a secure product lifecycle management network during an internship. Networks like Agile are a huge resource to the manufacturing and engineering industries. I could log on to Agile, view and print the latest revisions of our customer’s drawings and bill of materials without leaving my desk. For each project, the current revisions of each part are listed and changes from previous revisions are indicated. That is what comes to mind when I hear electronic communication.
