Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another.

Communication processes are sign-mediated interactions between at least two agents which
share a repertoire of signs and semiotic rules. Communication is commonly defined as "the
imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs".

Communication is a process whereby information is enclosed in a package and is channeled and

imparted by a sender to a receiver via some medium. The receiver then decodes the message and
gives the sender a feedback. All forms of communication require a sender, a message, and an
intended recipient, however the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to
communicate at the time of communication in order for the act of communication to occur.
Communication requires that all parties have an area of communicative commonality. There are
auditory means, such as speech, song, and tone of voice, and there are nonverbal means, such as
body language, sign language, paralanguage, touch, eye contact, through media, i.e., pictures,
graphics and sound, and writing.

COMPUTER NETWORK

A computer network, often simply referred to as a network, is a collection of computers and

devices connected by communications channels that facilitates communications among users and
allows users to share resources with other users. Networks may be classified according to a wide
variety of characteristics. This article provides a general overview of types and categories and
also presents the basic components of a network.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

A computer network allows sharing of resources and information among devices connected to the
network. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded the design of the Advanced Research
Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) for the United States Department of Defense. It was the first
operational computer network in the world. [1] Development of the network began in 1969, based on
designs developed during the 1960s. For a history see ARPANET, the first network
MOBILE COMPUTING

mobile computing The use of DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM technology to enable users who are not fixed in a single
physical position to communicate with computers which form part of a network; more often than not these
computers act as some form of SERVER. This is one of the major development areas in distributed computing, with
many manufacturers attempting to embed the same functions found in a normal computer into hand-held devices
such as mobile phones.

The iPhone is a line of Internet and multimedia-enabled smartphones designed and marketed by
Apple Inc., and released in 2007. An iPhone functions as a camera phone (also including text
messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to a video iPod), and an
Internet client (with e-mail, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity). The user interface is built
around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard rather than a physical one.
Third-party applications are available from the App Store, which launched in mid-2008 and now
has well over 100,000 "apps" approved by Apple. These apps have diverse functionalities,
including games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, and advertising for television
shows, films, and celebrities.

Apple announced the iPhone on January 9, 2007, after months of rumors and speculation.
Retroactively labeled, the "original" iPhone was introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007
before being marketed in Europe. It featured quad-band GSM with EDGE. Time magazine
named it the Invention of the Year in 2007. Released July 11, 2008, the iPhone 3G supports
faster 3G data speeds via UMTS with 3.6 Mbps HSDPA, and assisted GPS. Apple released
version 3.0 of the iPhone OS for the iPhone (and iPod Touch) on June 17, 2009. The iPhone
3GS has improved performance, a camera with higher resolution and video capability, voice
control, and support for 7.2 Mbps HSDPA downloading (but remains limited to 384 Kbps
uploading as Apple has not implemented the HSPA protocol). It was released in the U.S.,
Canada and six European countries on June 19, 2009, in Australia and Japan on June 26, and
internationally in July and August 2009. The original iPhone was discontinued with the
introduction of the iPhone 3G, which remains available alongside the iPhone 3GS.

Internet Services Technology is broad field of study usually resulting in receiving an Associate
of Applied Science Degree. This 2-year degree, often awarded at community colleges, is a
gateway to more specialized studies but can also be applied to immediate workforce demands.
Students learn languages such as HTML, C++, ActionScript, and JavaScript. This program of
study also encompasses business courses with an emphasis on e-commerce and macroeconomics.

Internet Services Technology covers a broad range of technologies used for web development,
web production, design, networking, and e-commerce. The field also covers internet
programming, website maintenance, internet architect, and web master

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a general term for a family of transmission technologies
for delivery of voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet or other packet-
switched networks. Other terms frequently encountered and synonymous with VOIP are IP
telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, and
broadband phone.

Internet telephony refers to communications services — voice, facsimile, and/or voice-

messaging applications — that are transported via the Internet, rather than the public switched
telephone network (PSTN). The basic steps involved in originating an Internet telephone call are
conversion of the analog voice signal to digital format and compression/translation of the signal
into Internet protocol (IP) packets for transmission over the Internet; the process is reversed at
the receiving end.

VOIP systems employ session control protocols to control the set-up and tear-down of calls as
well as audio codecs which encode speech allowing transmission over an IP network as digital
audio via an audio stream. Codec use is varied between different implementations of VOIP (and
often a range of codecs are used); some implementations rely on narrowband and compressed
speech, while others support high fidelity stereo codecs.
