What is Communication?

During this week’s reading of
Sail The 7 C’s, we took apart information about communication and really developed it into a good lesson. I learned that communication isn’t only about speaking. It can be non verbal, written instead of using actions to effectively communicate what is being spoken. Communication can also be portrayed through translation, where students or others who’s dominant language isn’t the same as yours will be able to understand when it comes to communicating. 

I also learned that there are multiple apps that can be used to communicate. Let's take playing a game online with a friend for example. Without voice to text, or voice to voice communication features, it would practically be impossible for people to communicate with each other. Now, let's say we do take those features away. Although it seems impossible, it's not entirely yet. Communication can still happen, whether you use emotes in the game, spell something while building, or even portray in body language of the character towards others. We see that communication happens on a day to day basis, and we seem to lack the acknowledgement of it. 

Overall, communication is predominately effective to everyone around the world, despite any barriers we come across.
