news groups and online conferencing.


News groups
A news group is similar to a blog however a news group is the discussion of a certain topic over a type of computer network for example Google chrome or internet explorer.
It Is easy to debate, discuss, question and answer over a news group.
 



Online conferencing is the discussion of a topic over the internet using video. A camera is used to record the person live and the live feed is sent to the other computers the persons is talking to and vice versa. This is similar to newsgroups however you are able to see the person you are chatting too and you can hear them too and this is all live.
This method has an advantage over more traditional methods such as actually traveling to a certain destination for the conference and the advantage Is that is saves a lot of time and is much cheaper than paying for flights and accommodation.
