What is Communication?
Communication
Communication is the activity of conveying
meaningful information. Communication requires
a sender, a messagee, and an intended recipient,
although the receiver need not be present or aware
of the sender's intent to communicate at the time
of communication; thus communication can occur
across vast distances in time and space.
Communication requires that the communicating
parties share an area of communicative
commonality. The communication process is
complete once the receiver has understood
