ommunication is the transfer of any thought, idea, or belief. We communicate everyday, spreading ideas to people around us whether verbally, on paper, or electronically. And whether realized or not, it's a necessity in any community no matter how primitive or advanced. Why? Well, without communication, how would we share ideas, knowledge, etc.? Everyone would have to reinvent the wheel and technological advancements would be impossible. However, the ability to transfer facts and ideas enables us to work together for a common goal, and more importantly to pass down knowledge for application inthe future. The very reason why technology is advancing at such of fast rate is because of the fact that knowledge and ideas can be transferred and accessed so fast today, that a single person can have access to a wealth of information, and then apply it to his own goal. However, though the need for communication will never change the few things that are constantly changing and improving are the forms of communication.
ethods of communicating vary greatly, however, all more or less convey a complete thought. At its most primitive form lies body language and verbal,then writing, the telegram, the telephone and television, the radio, and more advanced is the computer.
rom age-old methods of oral messengers to the modern forms of satellites and fiber optics, communicating has come a long way. What used to take weeks on horseback in ancient Mongolia only takes a few seconds to transfer on a computer via the Internet. And faster yet will be the transfer of information through such inventions such as cable modems. However, this evolution of communication hasn't occurred over night, it's taken thousands of years to evolve into what it is today; and there's no telling what may exist tomorrow. Still, as we move into the next millennia, faster and more efficient methods will be sought.
