    That could all soon change with the delivery of a “Gami,” a new form of electronic communication that allows people to record messages using an avatar that better conveys the tone of the message.

    Rather than wrestling with tiny keypads on a mobile computing device, Telegami allows anyone to convey an idea or a request with a much greater degree of personal touch.

    Of course, there are those who do much better hiding behind the comparative anonymity of an email message. But as communication on the Internet continues to evolve, it’s more than likely that the forms it will take will become as diverse as the multimedia landscape allows.
