History Of Communication

Introduction

In this original meaning is a social act is meant to accommodate several people (generally, living beings) are included. Significant aspects of this social action are to sign an excitation and execution of processes and other participation, in which something is created as something in common. Communication as social action is always situational. Communication as social action is the problem solution: communication barriers to be overcome, which cannot cope alone. Communication is often described as "exchange" or "transfer" of information described (Poe, Marshall, 2011, p. 215). "Information" in this context, is a collective term for knowledge, knowledge or experience. By "sharing" a mutual give and take is meant. "Transfer" is the description that this distance can be overcome, or it is meant an idea that left thoughts, ideas, opinions and other one individual, 'and move to another, in'. This is a way of seeing and metaphorical description of the everyday. For more detailed descriptions of the phenomenon of communication, the application of this metaphor is increasingly difficult (Poe, Marshall, 2011, p. 215).
