COMMUNICATION ?
 Communication is the activity of conveying
meaningful information.
 Communication requires a sender, a message, 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.
 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 the message of the sender.
