Communication

=__COMMUNICATION__=

By definition, communication is the act or process of communicating; fact of being communicated. It is the interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs. Today, communication has pushed its boundaries and has made it a lot easier to exchange ideas with others in the world, not to mention it is almost synonymous with interactivity.

In the world in which we live today, we depend on the ability to communicate with each other. Obvious examples would be occupations such as translators, telemarketers, and psychologists, where their job relies solely on communication with others. Examples not so apparent would be people in marketing and advertising. They communicate with us through print work, commercials, and through other visual methods.

Communication can be broken down into 6 categories: When we communicate with each other, we are unaware that we actually incorporate all 6 categories.
 * 1) Content (what type of things are communicated)
 * 2) Source/Sender(by whom)
 * 3) Form (in which way)
 * 4) Channel (through which medium)
 * 5) Destination/Receiver (to whom)
 * 6) Purpose aspect

Exchanging ideas from one another is not limited to just direct contact with other organisms. We are able to communicate with each other across the globe with the means of books, phones, television, radio, newspapers, advertisements, and many more types of media.
