The document discusses three models of communication - linear, interactive, and transactional. The linear model involves one-way communication without feedback through channels like speech and visuals. The interactive model refers to communication through social media which is not simultaneous and allows messages and feedback to be manipulated. The transactional model describes face-to-face communication which is simultaneous and involves multiple channels like visual and verbal. Noise that can disrupt communication includes misunderstandings by the receiver, issues with the communication channel, distractions, and other people.
