electronic communications
Wired information exchange
Electronic communications are messages or information transmitted through electronic systems—email, text messages, phone calls, video chat, and online messaging.
The term often appears in legal and corporate contexts where precision matters: The company's electronic communications policy prohibits personal use of work email.
It encompasses both real-time exchanges and asynchronous messages, distinguishing them from paper correspondence or face-to-face conversation.
