Communication

Communication is the process of sharing or exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, and feelings between people or devices using various methods such as speaking, writing, gestures, or technology. It helps us connect with others, express ourselves, and understand what others are saying or trying to convey.

Technology And Communication

Telephone: Using a telephone, people can talk to each other even when they are far apart. It works by sending voice signals over wires or through wireless networks.
Radio: A radio broadcasts sound signals, such as music, news, and stories, over the airwaves. People can listen to these signals using a radio receiver.
Television (TV): Television displays both audio and visual information. It shows programs, movies, and news on a screen, and people can watch and listen to what is being broadcast.

Computer: Computers can send and receive messages, images, and information through the internet. People can communicate with each other using emails, instant messaging, and video calls.
Mobile Phones: Mobile phones, also known as cell phones, are portable devices that allow people to make calls, send text messages, and access the internet wirelessly. They are widely used for communication.
