In case of a communicating orally with few people, physically approachable at closer distances, then accordingly, the oral communication could be subtle yet powerful. It should not be a noise to the listeners but rather subtle to help reaching out to the listeners in more effective way.

4. In a mass audience, when a person is presenting a seminar using the Projector, laser pointer and a microphone to address the public, there could the possibility of technology failure if the Projector connected to the Computer crashes or conks off for a while During that period, a back plan B needs to be ready such as taking the large print-outs of the important slides that could have been presented before the audience with the help of MS PowerPoint otherwise. This shall help the audience to be in synch with the speaker even if the Plan A faliled.
