Communication involves the sharing of information between two or more individuals through speaking, listening, and understanding. There are several types of communication, including oral communication which helps build relationships but lacks permanence; written communication which has legal validity but requires more time; non-verbal communication through body language and gestures; and visual communication using images which can convey complex ideas quickly but requires preparation of visual aids. Each type of communication has advantages and disadvantages depending on the context and purpose of the message.
