It is inevitable that greatly affect the development of Information Technology Communication Technology. Information and Communication Technology as if it can not be separated, thus was born the term ICT (Information and Communication Technology), which is very popular nowadays. Blend them with the fast growing Internet media. Internet technology has changed the way people communicate.

Email, in my opinion is key to changing the way we communicate. With only have one email address, we can follow the various models of communication on the Internet. Some models of communication, including:
1. Forum
2. Mailing List / Group
3. Social networking site
4. Blogs
5. File sharing site
6. E-learning using a teleconference

Let’s discuss one by one sixth above communication model.

Forum

The forum is an online discussion forum that discusses a particular themes or topics. Some portal sites or websites of a vendor product, usually provides a forum on their website. This forum can only be followed by visitors who have registered on the Web. If not registered, visitors web forums, can only read the results of discussions that already exist, but they can not make comments on the forum.

Registration form to become a member of this forum, normally requires us to fill in your email address, user and password to verify our membership. Activation code usually sent via email.

The famous example of a web forum for Delphi programmers in Indonesia is http://www.delphi-id.org. In this forum every member can make a topic to be discussed or answer / make comments on topics other people.

I felt the benefits to follow this forum. Especially when we have difficulty in making the case of certain programs. Then we can ask through this forum. With us to post our problems on the forum, surely many of the member who will read and provide solutions to our problems. In this Delphi forum, actually posting a comment / answer overseen by moderators, so that it does not deviate from the theme of this forum is Delphi.

But there are some forums that it is less useful. For example there are forums on the web portal seconds which sometimes raise the topic less educated. For example as I recall, I never read one of the topics in a second forum is “How do you feel when you first kiss?”. I think the topics are less than helpful. Therefore, because of the many forums that exist, then we must be really smart to choose and know exactly what the main themes and objectives of the forum.
