Sending and receiving messages had evolved from the days of sending birds with notes tied to their legs to sending information through pipes. Thanks to technology, making phone calls made life a lot easier and the creation of mobile phones made it possible to send text messages and picture messages. The introduction of postal services carrying on the burden of sending these messages introduced another possibility of sending messages without us traveling long distance to send messages though “Time” poses threat to this service. With the aid of technology, information is being sent real-time, with emails, text messages, on line messengers and a list of others. Sending hard copy messages has not really evolved until lately with the introduction of internet fax.
