Telecommunication

Telecommunication is like a telephone: it's a way for us to communicate with each other over long distances. We use phones, computers, and other devices to send messages, pictures, and sounds so that we can talk to someone far away. A lot of people rely on telecommunication to keep in touch with family and friends. For example, Skype and Zoom let us see and hear the people we're talking to.
