2. Communication is the activity of conveying information.
Communication has been derived from the Latin word
"communes", meaning to share.
In words of Louis- “Communication is the sum of all
things one person does when he wants to create
understanding in the minds of another. It involves a
systematic and continuous process of telling, listening
and understanding.
Communication may be defined as giving, receiving or
exchanging information, opinions or ideas by writing,
speech or visual means, so that material communicated
is completely understood by everyone concerned.
