It's easy to say that the best way to communicate with a person is face to face but there are different methods of talking to a persons. Over the years, people has used
letters, telegrams, morse codes telephones etc. and then using computers such as hyper space. With the hyper space, we used emails, Instant message, web cameras and other ways of getting into contact. But is this method the only way of getting into contact?

For now, here are some methods (or theories) of communications using electronics.....
