WHAT IS COMMUNICATION, DEFINITION, NATURE, CHARACTERISTICS

 Communication is as old as Mankind itself. Early human beings started communicating or felt the need to communicate when they started living together, There was the need to communicate for food, danger against animals, nature etc. Initially this was conveyed through signs like hand imprints, giving way to guttural sounds and  cave paintings. This need became more complex as mankind developed slowly with the discovery of metal and then the wheel and then some language in the region where they settled in communities.

Today communication is omnipresent. The average human being is seen to be communicating all the time, could be communicating to self, people around consciously or subconsciously, sometimes even unconsciously.

Look around you, everyone of us, animals included are communicating. As an individual, we communicate keeping in mind the role that we are playing at that time. A parent or a child. Coaxing and cajoling, anger and threat, love and affection all are communicated. Even jealously. So effectively we communicate our emotions to each other. We as a family communicate with each other, usually verbally, outside, with the neighbours, the street vendors, the shopkeepers, other businesses. Even businesses communicate with us as well as other businesses (of course, through humans).

In the modern era humans are busy using appliances and other instruments to communicate, the computer, the mobile phone, the wireless handset, the wired handset to communicate to others

The meaning: The origin of the word “communication” is “communicare” or “communis” which means “to impart”, “to participate”, “to share” or “to make common.” The sense of sharing is inherent in the very origin and meaning of “communication.”
