      Identification
          *

            According to Your Dictionary, communication is defined as a "giving or exchanging of information, signals, or messages as by talk, gestures, or writing." Distributing or relaying information is the essence of communication. Information technology systems and solutions simply expand the ways and means by which people communicate.

          *

          *

            Information technology has a dramatic effect on society and workplace interactions.

This phenomenon allows companies to outsource jobs all over the world.
