Computer question from Sub Inspector exam, 2022 by JKSSB
Choose the best option to complete the sentence:
Most of the communication methods used today are _______.
Last updated May 13, 2026
Correct Answer:
Option A —
technology-based
Why "Technology-based" is the best fit:
Ubiquity: Devices like smartphones, laptops, and tablets have replaced traditional methods like handwritten letters or telegrams.
Infrastructure: Modern communication relies on the internet, satellites, and fiber-optic cables, all of which are technological advancements.
Speed and Scale: Technology allows for near-instantaneous global communication, which was impossible under "manually operated" systems. Analyzing the other options:
B) Manually operated: This refers to older methods, such as a switchboard operator connecting phone calls by hand or a postal worker sorting mail. These are now largely automated.
C) Centralized: While some platforms (like Facebook) are centralized, the internet itself and many modern methods (like Peer-to-Peer or Blockchain messaging) are becoming increasingly decentralized.
D) Time-sensitive: While some communication (like emergency alerts) is time-sensitive, a huge portion of modern communication is asynchronous (like emails or YouTube comments), meaning it can be read or watched at any time
