Technology has changed the way people communicate with each other.  Social media and the online platform change the traditional constraints of mass media.  News production and broadcasting, even when published online, are influenced by time constraints.  Tools available for communication in the workplace included email, instant messaging, voice mail, faxing, and paging.  Digital devices allow employees to access information stored on the company intranet to access organizational memory in stored graphics and documents. The data is used to send electronic mail messages and seek advice when needed (Oldman & Da Silva, 2015).
