How it's used
Refers specifically to the act or system of exchanging information, often implying technical or remote means. While it covers digital messaging, it sounds slightly more formal or technical than just saying 傾偈 or 聯絡. It is frequently used in professional or infrastructure contexts rather than casual social interaction.
Examples
Communication is so convenient now, you can find someone with just a button press.
