Importance Of Communication

A human being starts communicating as soon as he starts producing his first noise in the act of drawing his parents’ attention. Every emotion that we portray on our faces, the movement of our hands, the way we look at someone and our speech instantly communicates our ideas to others. Communication is highly necessary for our society, as it is only through exchange of ideas and co-operation that a society can grow and develop. Effective communication is essential to learn, to teach, to make relationships and to maintain them. In the modern world, the importance of communication has surpassed all previously slated levels. Interestingly, the means of communication has outnumbered the means of food production in the world today. The communicative technologies in the world have been increasing not only in number, but also in speed, accuracy and clarity. Let us take a closer look and perform an in-depth analysis of importance of communication in the modern world.

To transfer ideas from one person to another, communication plays a vital role. Every human being has some ideas that are unique to his own mind. Many of these ideas can be implemented in real life and can turn into major creations too. But to make the transition from just a thought to an implementation, it requires effectual communication. Hence, the idea should be communicated as a plan, drawing or description so that it can be created further.

It is very important that we interact with our surroundings and people living in the surroundings. Whenever we talk to someone, we, unknowingly or unknowingly, react to his/her questions, actions or comments. This is communication. While corresponding to someone in any way, we are actually communicating. Healthy communication is essential for a healthy society.

To educate someone, we need to communicate the ideas in the syllabus or the study material to the student. Education involves a collection of all kinds of communication i.e., audio, video, books and lectures. However, herein the deal is not just to communicate, but to communicate effectively. Inefficient communication can lead to transfer of ambiguous knowledge.

 

In the modern world, nothing is more important than staying up-to-date. Only through proper channels of communication can people be updated with current affairs and important events across the globe. Communication is the actual transfer of information through various mediums in such a way that it caters to the needs of people from different strata of life. News can actually stand for as a collection of information from the 4 directions, i.e. North, East, West and South, that, in turn, is delivered to us through various communication channels.

Entertainment, today, is mostly based on the channels of mass communication, like films and television. Moreover, theatre and other arts also communicate certain ideas to its audience. Internet is another common platform for entertainment, which again is a mode of communication. In short, we can safely conclude that communication and entertainment are entwined in today’s world.

Unless we communicate with the world, we will never understand the way things function and how things are piled up and related to one another. People are just a fragment amongst these things. Did you know that other elements of the world also communicate to us, but in their own ways? We need to interact with the environment in order to understand life. People who do not communicate tend to get isolated, which thereby leads to many problems.
