The increasingly broad range of computer-mediated communication and globalization has made it possible to connect with people across the globe. The rapidly rising success of communication technology has made it easier to communicate socially and academically. However, this technology has also made it possible for businesses to communicate on an intercontinental level. According to Rud (2009) “Many companies are hiring top technical and business talent from around the globe equipping them to work virtually to save on travel” (p.47). Businesses and organizations are investing in different forms of communication technology in order to connect with coworkers and other organizations on an international and an intercontinental level. Two forms of communication technologies that a variety of businesses and organizations value are net conferences and teleconferences. Net conferences are business conferences that are mediated electronically via a network of computers and teleconferences allow business and organizations to connect and collaborate with video capabilities that allow for information and file sharing.
