What is Communication

This week during class we discussed what is communication (each act of transmitting info), and there were many things about this class discussion that had piqued my interests. The first thing was when we discussed the readings we had because, the article gave more insight on how communication has changed and is continuing to change over the years. The second thing was, during this lesson we had been put into groups and given a pile filled of definitions, we then had to separate the definitions into categories that fell under different forms of communication. While conducting this assignment I realized that it wasn’t an  easy task to know just where certain forms of communication belonged. There were definitions that went along with technology, social, personal, and etc and you really had to be careful of what the definitions were actually saying because often times I found myself and my group switching our minds about where we thought a definition should go. At the end of the assignment I thought it was interesting how most groups thought alike, and came up with the some of the same categories. I was also thinking if I had to have done this myself I don’t think I would have gotten through the assignment for the simple fact that when I listened to my group members and what they felt I realized just how fast my perspective on something could change.
