Telecommunications technology is one of the drivers of digital transformation and online communication has become an essential part of our professional and personal lives. With the development of modern technologies, more and more different types and kinds of online communication and platforms have gradually become established, allowing us to collaborate with people around the world. So let's take a look at some of the most popular types of online communication and help you choose the optimal platform for your needs.
