Abstract

The source and receiver might be individuals or groups. They do not need to be people, either. When my dog barks at me and brings me its lead, I understand that it wants to go for a walk. In that case, the source is the dog, and the receiver is me.Information can be a message or collection of facts. It might include, for instance, statements of opinion, instructions, questions, requests, demands, ideas, declarations or codes. Communication can take many forms...
