Defining Communication in 2025
The Shift in Content Consumption
The way people get their information is changing fast.
-
People now spend more time online than watching traditional TV.
-
Smartphones, laptops, and smart TVs are the top tools used for content.
-
Most people scroll through social media or watch videos instead of reading the newspaper.
Consumers are moving toward content that is digital, fast, and easy to access. That’s why your content must be accessible on every screen—from desktop to mobile.
Why This Matters
If you want to reach people, you need to meet them where they are. That means:
-
Mobile-first design
-
Short videos and graphics
-
Snackable blog content
-
Attention-grabbing headlines
People don’t want to hunt for information—they want it to find them.
