Communication

Communication, what is it? Is it looking at someone in the flesh and speaking to them? Is it picking up the telephone and talking to someone who you know? Is it turning on your home computer and socialising with a complete stranger from the other side of the world through a keyboard? The definitions in the dictionary are as follows; imparting information given, intercourse, access or means of access, passage, and connection between places. The definition that I choose to use is 'access or means of access'; communication is basically access to anything and everything you want. It is the key we all need to open the doors of life, without it we are nothing, without it the world we live in would be nothing. We need communication to survive. As you are aware those sentences are no exaggeration, with this in mind you will realise that communication is extremely important in the world we live in. But why is it so important, how can you use it to its fullest and what issues surround its fairly recent advancement? These are the questions that I hope to evaluate in this essay
