Internet communications is a term that is used to refer to the various
methods and ways that individuals use in communicating through the worldwide
web. These methods include rooms, email,
forums, social networks, designated chat rooms, and also a voice over IP
platforms. This article, on the other hand, discusses people’s interaction with
these methods of internet communication in detail while at the same time
discussing how interactivity could be measured. As the definition was given,
this article is related to the whole subject of internet communication.
Interactivity in web
design refers to the ways in which an individual can efficiently and
effectively interact with the various media interfaces. When measuring the
overall interactivity of the multimedia platform the design of that particular
media is of utmost importance. The more
design freedom a platform has, the
greater the complexity it has and as a consequence the lesser interactivity
with its users. While at the same time making it harder to measure the overall interactivity of the media platform effectively.it
is important to note that the manner in which the platform is designed significantly impacts the
interactivity since the user has too many choices, navigation is complex and is
hugely disoriented. The interactivity degree of a particular web design is measured
by the total number of presented tools on
that website, the various bandwidth that each tool needs, response immediacy, the
customization and personalization of reactions. Research has also shown that visual-based platforms have a much higher interactivity because
it engages the user to be keener and pay
more attention. As the immediate environment becomes responsive to individual
cognitive requirements of the individual using the platform, it shifts in the
direction of social sense.
