1) Suppose you have an important message to send to a friend in another city, and you can use the telephone, email, real-time teleconference, fax, or overnight mail service. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. See if you can think of a situation for each of the five options in which that particular option is the most appropriate choice.

• Telephone: If she answers right away it is the fastest way to get your message accross.
•  E-mail: It is the quickest way to send your message accurately since your friend does not have to try and hear you she just reads it and knows the full message
• Real-Time conference: If the connection is good then not only can she hear you but she can also see how you feel about the message. Do you like it, hate it, is it urgent, etc.
• Fax: The message can go right to her. But it is not the easiest option.
• Overnight mail service: You can make the message more official for the person but your friend might get the message a bit later than she would with any of the other options.
