What we are doing right now is communication. Yup you are totally correct. But that is not only communication. today together we will explore the word COMMUNACTION. Communication involves the transfer of information or message from a source to a recipient via a channel or medium.
Basic block diagram of a communication system indicating various process in communication is shown below.
Source Transmitter Receiver Recipient Communication system can be basically bifurcated in two types..
Both analog and digital communication takes place through analog and digital signal respectively.
COMMUNICATION ANALOG communication DIGITAL communication ANALOG SIGNAL An analog signal is a variable signal which is continuous in both time and amplitude.
DIGITAL SIGNAL A digital signal is a variable signal which can attain discrete amplitude at various interval of time.
Analog Communication Communication taking place through direct or modulated analog signal is analog communication. Various places where analog communication is used. 1) In face to face communication. 2) Transmission in satellites.
Advantages :- Easy to generate and transmit over sender to receiver. Direct transmission of message is possible. Digital Communication Communication taking place through digital or modulated digital signal is digital communication. Various places where Digital communication is used. 1) Mobile phones. 2) Computers. 3) Wi-Fi. And much more.
Advantage:- Very much immune to noise so almost exact information can be decoded back. Can be produced through sampling of analog signal. Advantages and Disadvantages.
Analog Digital Requires less band width for transmission. Requires more band width for transmission. Used for long distance transmission without modulation. Modulation is necessary for long distance transmission. Prone to noise. Effect of noise is very less. Used in satellite transmission and various others. Used in mobile communication and much many other applications. Communication is an integral part of life.
Even the deaf and dumbs communicate in there own way. Not only this animal , birds , and we humans can not survive without communicating with each others.
Language is not the only mode of communication. During the time of our great great great ancestors when there was no language they used to communicate in there own way by symbols.. C o m m u n i c a t i o n

Some of the examples of communication which we use in our day to day life are. Radio and Television. We get a lot of information from radio, television, news papers, etc about the surroundings. So they are nothing but the modes of communication.
Telecommunications Telecommunication means communication using electronic devices such as mobile phones satellite etc. A basic telecommunication system consists of three elements:- 1. A transmitter that takes information and converts it to a signal. 2. A transmission medium that carries the signal. 3. A receiver that receives the signal and converts it back into usable information.
A part of telecommunication is cellular phones which you are holding right now in your pockets. Not only this telecommunication also involves your short message service.. Commonly known to you as SMS. Fiber optic communication. Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps: 1. Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter. 2. Transmitting optical signal through optical fiber. 3. receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.
Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Thus communication is a very essential part of day to day life Keep communicating.
