What is Communication? Communication is the sending and receiving of information or messages. This is the technical definition of communication. But, what lies beneath this definition? How do we take our world for granted? What if we were unable to communicate with each other by conventional means? How would we overcome and adapt? With the onset of the Information Age claiming more and more of our attention, rationing our minds to keep up with the most modernized forms of communication systems can be taxing. Of course, the benefits of keeping up with the current technological trends in communications means great rewards for those who are in the loop of things. For those who are not? Things become complicated.
