Answer:time space compression

Explanation:

-Time space compression is the process of limiting the distance and time between people.

-It aims to ensure that just because people are a mile a way and in different time zones it should not take as much long for them to contact effectively and efficiently.

-The text above gives us the perfect example of soldier's wives who use to struggle with the distance and time between them and their husbands.

-The mailing will take days, weeks or months before they could receive messages but the technological development of media communications such as Skype have compressed that distance between them.
