Evolution of Communication


One of the most important aspects of life or process which has evolved throughout the history of mankind is communication or the art of communication. From using sign languages and smoke signals thousands of years ago to the usage of Internet and mobile phone in modern day communication has always played an important part in the life of humans.

As the communication evolved the need and techniques of communication has also changed drastically. Daily need to communicate has seen a sharp increase in the last few decades. Team or groups working on different project can easily communicate with each other in a more effective manner which results in the outcome to be faster and better. We can also easily state that being in contact with people around the world and having ocean of knowledge at our fingertips has made up more demanding and this increased our desires for worldly goods.

We have developed better and faster tools to communicate which made us more aware of world by communicating with people from different countries. Although modern tool have put the communication into a different league but it is also fair to say that modern tools are more complex and require more skills to operate them.

Change in the aspects or techniques of communication over the past many millennium has changed our society and people within between culture to a very great extend. We live in a multi-cultural society with people from around the globe bringing unique skills and knowledge which have made us more aware about different cultures extending from North America to Australia, geographically. It will be justified to say that we are more conscious of this world compare to our ancestors.

One strong argument is that communication is playing a very positive role in our life, in this modern world, by using tools such as Internet, mobiles phones or satellite phones. Living standards have risen and this world can be viewed as a global village, courtesy to modern communication.

On the other hand some people can easily argue that development of communication is the basis of making this world more dangerous. Attacks on nations can be launched in a more coordinated manner resulting in losing innocent lives and all thanks to the advance communication methods used by different institutions.

To conclude that, the modern communication has a positive or negative implication on people and on this society is very difficult. I would like the readers to come to their own conclusion using their own personal experiences.
