Answer to Question 1

Answer: Communicating successfully with electronic media requires a wide range of writing approaches. Fortunately, you can write successful messages in virtually all electronic media by using one of the following compositional modes: conversations, comments and critiques, orientations, summaries, reference materials, narratives, teasers, status updates and announcements, and tutorials.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The lines that differentiate digital media communication tools (e.g., instant messaging, texting, microblogging, and podcasting) often get blurry as systems expand their capabilities or people use them in new ways. For example, Facebook Messages integrates IM, text messages, and email capabilities, in addition to being a social networking system. Moreover, the mobile variants of digital technologies add another layer of challenges and opportunities for business communicators. For example, the ability to scan coded labels such as barcodes or the similar Quick Response (QR) codes attached to printed materials, products, or store windows (or the ability to pick up radio signals from near-field communication tags) gives smartphone users a way to get more informationfrom the companies themselves and from other consumers providing reviews on social websites.
