A Persuasive Speech Sample

Who here communicates with others?

Today, I want to describe to you what I call the 8th Wonder of the World. This wonder is right up there with the Pyramids, with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, with the Collossus of Rhodes. It is not though of the ancient world. It is though a marvel of engineering and cooperation amongst the nations of the world.

Today as well as the telephone, I use the Internet, I use eMail.

The Internet is a way of connecting computers together around the world using the telephone cables. eMail is electronic mail that is distributed across the Internet.

Putting these together, I can almost communicate anywhere anytime.

Did you know, that "the number of emails sent on an average day was approximately 10 billion in 2002 and by 2005, this amount is expect to triple to 35 billion emails sent each day" (Source: IDC news release, 'Email Deluge Continues With No End In Sight, IDC Says': October 10, 2000) Do you know that they are all asleep in Australia? Last year I rang to ask a business question to only get the night security guard. It was good of him to take my call.

Now I email at any time and receive the needed information back as soon as the other office is open.

How many here use the telephone to connect with another?

Today we use a large amount of technology to live, communicate, and relate.

To speak with another: devices like the telephone, mobile telephone or cell phone. To access information: television, cable TV, satellites, global computer networks To bank: we use ATMs To travel: vehicles, planes and trains To get to a destination: Global positioning systems (GPS) guide airplanes.

We use technology every day to live.

Think of your kitchen, car, office, cinema, your local shopping centre. Think of the technology you use, you rely on.

What would it be like WITHOUT technology in our day?

I use eMail every day in my work, my business and for personal communications. I discovered eMail when I was studying many years ago. It was used as THE communication medium between the lecturers and between colleagues in my study team. We relied on eMail.

Today, I want to share my insights into this amazing communication method, and convince you of its hidden potential, in YOUR life today.

What will we look at in the next few minutes?Firstly, a quick look at how the internet and eMail has shrunk the world.Secondly, how business has been revolutionised, andThirdly, how personal relations are enhanced by these new technologies, that's right, personal relations! Who ever thought a computer would help relationships.

The Internet runs on energy: on electricity.How fast does electricity flow? How fast does a light switch turn on when you switch it? How fast does sound come from a radio when it is switched on?Let's now switch on email.

State Point 1
The world is shrinking with the advent of the Internet and in particular, eMail.

State a Reason
Why is this occurring? Because, eMail is easy to use.
eMail is very fast to both send and to receive.
eMail overcomes time barriers.

Give an Example
Recently when planning a holiday in England, the Internet and eMail were used to book hotels and hire cars organised across multiple time zones. No more ringing and trying to get people who are in bed other than at a sales desk. How often have you thought "don't they ever wake up over there?" I did.

Restate the Point
The world is in deed shrinking with the advent of email.

State Point 2
eMail has revolutionised business.
Business can now literally operate at the speed of light.
"eMail is growing at a rate of 66% annually, email is the most common way for business people to communicate "(Source: IAAAP / ePolicy Institute news release: April 18, 2002)

State a Reason
eMail is simple easy to use and fast.eMail reduces the formalities of paper-based title pages and wording in say a Sales quote eMail makes retrieving an old eMail easy when comparing negotiations.
The Internet gives "instant" access to information from anywhere in the world.

Give an Example
From my desktop I can negotiate the best price for a transaction regardless where the shop is in the world. In fact I have more suppliers to choose from.
Telephone tag (when you ring and they are out) is eliminated.
Publishing words or pictures is simple. Anyone can publish on the Internet.
I can stay in touch with the office anytime when I am out of the office, using the Internet and eMail.

Restate the Point
The Internet and eMail has revolutionised business and enables business to be forever open conducting business 24 x 7 (24hours by 7 days).

State Point 3
The Internet and eMail enhances personal relationseMail can even explode personal relationships in a new dimension.

State a Reason
eMail is a powerful complementer of the older technologies: telephone, letters ...
No stamps, no paper, no envelopes, no trips to/from the postbox.
Your message can be short, succinct and to the point.Stay in touch when do not wish to speak.
- The Receiver of your message does not have to be home when you 'write'.
- Unlimited interactions via a computer (written, voice, image, music, information) versus limited via telephone (voice)
- Internet and eMail can bring together countless numbers of people sharing the same interests, eg chat rooms and instant messaging using ICQ, AOL and MSN

Give an Example
Stay in touch regardless of location:
I eMailed my son when he was in England
I eMail to a busy sister in another State - because she is rarely home, using eMail means the call is not missed if I was to telephone.

Restate the Point
When it comes personal relations, eMail enables cheap effective communications which are never missed, unlike the telephone. They are there when you connect to the Internet.

The Internet and eMail has shrunk the world, enabled more timely business to occur and can enhance personal relationships and friendships.

Today we have explored a powerful vehicle called the Internet, and an effective tool for communication called eMail.
