These basic principles have undergone [[modification]] as [[societies]] and [[cultures]] have changed, yet remained surprisingly [[uniform]]. The [[technology]] and the methods of this form of communication have traditionally been through oratory structure and rely on an [[audience]]. However, new advances in technology have allowed for more sophisticated [[communication]] for speakers and public orators. The technological and [[media]] sources that assist the public-speaking atmosphere include both videoconferencing and [[telecommunications]]. Videoconferencing is among one of the more recent technologies that is in a way revolutionizing the way that public speakers communicate to [[the masses]]. David M. Fetterman of Stanford University wrote in his 1997 article ''Videoconferencing over the Internet'': "Videoconferencing technology allows geographically disparate parties to hear and see each other usually through satellite or telephone communication systems". This technology is helpful for large [[conference]] meetings and face-to-face communication [[contexts]], and is becoming more widespread across the world.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_speaking] | These basic principles have undergone [[modification]] as [[societies]] and [[cultures]] have changed, yet remained surprisingly [[uniform]].
