The technological revolution of the twentieth century has given communication a new meaning, encompassing many definitions, depending on the social, cultural and economic context in which it is used.

Changes will continue to take place on both theoretical and practical levels. Ironically, the opportunities that new technologies create also constitute the challenges on all levels. This essay documents some of the potential opportunities and their corresponding challenges as identified by both theorists and practitioners.
