Communication

UNIT 1. WHAT IS COMMUNICATION?

Sender is a person who sends information.

Receiver is a person who gets information.

Information can be a lot of different things depending on the context. People sometimes view information and the medium to transfer it as one and the same. They aren't. Let's distinguish between the information being sent that the medium used to send it.

The information can be: words, gestures, drawings, paintings, songs, music.

The means can be: speeches, emails, blogs, forums, text messages, voice messages, poems, essays, books, newspapers, ads, articles, and practically anything you can speak through, write on or draw on.

Effective Communication is a process where a message is received and understood by the receiver in the manner that the sender intended it to be.
