Communications: Difference between revisions

Communication is a way to interact with other people, exchange of ideas, information and so on. But it is not only for humans, machines communicate too. Unlike human, computers and gadgets are connected to each other through wireless networks and via Wifi. For long distance humans used to send post, but with technology around life has become much easier. Communication can be divided into various sections.

Body Language (a way of communication)

When we interact with others, we continuously give and receive wordless signals. All of our nonverbal behaviors—the gestures we make, the way we sit, how fast or how loud we talk, how close we stand, how much eye contact we make—send strong messages. These messages don't stop when you stop speaking either. Even when you're silent, you're still communicating nonverbally.

Oftentimes, what comes out of our mouths and what we communicate through our body language are two totally different things. When faced with these mixed signals, the listener has to choose whether to believe your verbal or nonverbal message, and, in most cases, they're going to choose the nonverbal because it's a natural, unconscious language that broadcasts our true feelings and intentions in any given moment.

Wireless Networking

With wireless Networks computers, printers and other devices can join a network without a connection with a cable. This is attractive for homes, business installations and telecommunication networks. It is cheaper as a local area network. In homes we can relate all our communication devices, like computers and printers, to each other. Business installations use wireless networks to relate all of their computers. A wireless telecommunication network is generally used for the radio communication.

Social-Media

Because social media is such a broad term, it covers a large range of websites. But the one common link between these websites is that you are able to interact with the website and interact with other visitors.

Here are some examples of social media websites:

• Social Bookmarking. (Del.icio.us, Blinklist, Simpy) Interact by tagging websites and searching through websites bookmarked by other people.
• Social News. (Digg, Propeller, Reddit) Interact by voting for articles and commenting on them.
• Social Networking. (Facebook, Hi5, Last.FM) Interact by adding friends, commenting on profiles, joining groups and having discussions.
• Social Photo and Video Sharing. (YouTube, Flickr) Interact by sharing photos or videos and commenting on user submissions.
• Wikis. (Wikipedia, Wikia) Interact by adding articles and editing existing articles.

And these websites are not the only social media websites. Any website that invites you to interact with the site and with other visitors falls into the definition of social media.

cell phones

A cell phone is any portable telephone which uses cellular network technology to make and receive calls. The name comes from the cell-like structure of these networks. There is some confusion about cell phones being a different thing to smartphones, but technically, every mobile phone, from the latest Android handset to the simplest feature phone, is a cell phone. It is all about the technology used to transmit your calls, rather than what the handset itself can or cannot do. As long as a phone can transmit a signal to a cellular network, it is a cell phone.

The term Cell Phone is interchangeable with the terms Cellular Phone and Mobile Phone. They all mean the same thing. The term Smartphone has come to mean a cell phone which offers more advanced features than just calls, SMS messages and basic organizer software. Often, when talking about mobile phones, cell phone is used to describe a simple feature phone, whilst smartphone is used to describe more advanced touch screen phones

Communication is the exchange of messages or information between people. Electronic gadgets like the mobile phone change our world. Nowdays communication between people is much more easily than before.

Humans from different coutries or even different comtinents can communicate with each other by the cell phone. They also can work with their mobile phone without leaving their home or actual position.

In the past people communicate with letters, so they have to wait over several days for the written letter till they get it. In the past it was difficult to find someone quickly so they have to search a long time. Nowdays, almost every person owns a mobile phone, so with just one call you are able to tell your message or find out where the person is.

All in all the way to communicate with other people is nowdays much easier thank technological advances.

Internet

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks to link several billion devices worldwide. Through websites like Twitter, Facebook, icq chat etc. people can stay in contact. They exchange pictures, videos each other and do live chat in Skype. Internet communication has alot of advantages for business people. They do not need to fly abroad and save travel costs. Email is an important communications service available on the Internet. The concept of sending electronic text messages between parties in a way analogous to mailing letters or memos predates the creation of the Internet. Pictures, documents and other files are sent as email attachments.
