1. Is the device a part of a computer system? If yes, is it a computer peripheral? If not, how is this device classified?
2. Where do you usually see or use this device? Do you find it useful in your daily activities? Why or why not?
B. Individual Activity
Search online for media outlets that use two or more modes of communication with their customers.
Example are a new program on TV and a radio broadcast over the AM frequency.
Media outlet that I choose: Uniqlo PH (uses Interpersonal Communication and Interpretive Communication)
The Uniqlo PH is a brand company that sells clothing brands and fashion items.
Do a comparative analysis of the types of outlets the communication network currently uses in terms of the following:
1. Content- The Uniqlo uses interpersonal communication at their physical store. An interpersonal
communication is interaction between two or more persons. It entails individuals exchanging messages,
thoughts, and information. Furthermore, Uniqlo uses this communication when someone ask about their
product and when a costumer is at the cashier, both the costumer and the worker exchange messages.
Additionally, the Uniqlo also uses the interpretive communication in their online store. Hence an
interpretive communication is one-way receptive communication centered on the comprehension and
analysis of written, spoken, seen, and signed materials or dialogue. They use this when they promote
their brand in online store, using written words or visual representations.
2. Audience reaches- In local costumers they encourage or reach them by their physical store, such as
how they decorate their store to catch the attention of the costumers. Hence for the international market
they produce an online store in order to sell their products to the costumers internationally, in this way
their business can also reaches the other countries.
3. Your personal preference- In my opinion, I prefer physical store rather than online store, because in
physical store you can actually see the product you like to buy also you can fit the clothes or any fashion
items you like. Unlike in online store, it can be convenient since you don’t have to go outside, but the
downside is you may buy wrong size of products or you may be disappointed with the physical look of
the brand.
