internet communication

Digital information exchange

Internet communication encompasses the exchange of information between people or systems through networked computers—email, instant messaging, video calls, social media, forums, and web-based platforms.

The term covers both synchronous exchanges like chat and asynchronous ones like email.

Most of my internet communication happens through work Slack channels.
