"Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something." - Plato Communication is exchange of information between objects, and includes both technical topics like telecommunication and societal issues like mass media. We can treat communication like a language and a subject unto itself, or as the name of a field of study. "Communication" implies two different, and sometimes conflicting, things. On the one hand, it means to have a thoughtful exchange of views (dialogue) with a small number of people, perhaps just one. But it can also mean to distribute broadly a simple message, without deep thought or appeals for feedback. The Latin root word comunicare means "to make common." Communication as a field of study is relatively new. Arguably, it includes journalism, public relations and media studies. In more technical senses; telegraphy, telephone, computer network, psychology and linguistics. Kildehenvisninger:
