Elements of Communication

Communication is a two-way process that takes practice and time to be fully effective and is very important in every aspect our personal and professional lives. We communicate every day of our lives both verbally or nonverbally. The process of verbal communication is the exchanging information by transmitting an idea, send that idea, receive feedback, understand the idea and the feedback and provide feedback to the person who sent the message. The main components of communication are context, encoder, message, medium, decoder, and feedback. The context could be social, chronological, cultural, or physical. The individual sending the message will

Communication is the sending and receiving messages and information between two or more people. The person receiving the information is called the receiver and the person sending the message is referred to as the sender. The information conveyed can include instructions, ideas, facts, concepts, beliefs, opinions and even emotions. Effective communication occurs if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit.

7. What is the piece of hardware that allows a device to physically access a network?

Ethernet is typically the technology that is used to allow computers locally to communicate with one another. Computers that are close to each other they are connected by Ethernet.

Third, there is a set of software that allows the computer to send data across this network. There are a lot

workstations, and various other intelligent peripheral equipments, which are generally referred to as devices or hosts. A LAN allows access for devices to be shared by several users, with full connectivity between all stations on the network. A LAN is usually owned and administered by a private owner and is located within a localized

You need the component to have installed in the computer tower, which is a NIC stand for Network Interface Card, so you are able to send information locally on a LAN or to remote devices on the Internet. It has a unique 48-bit address that provides a way to link computers through the physical media. 48-bit address means MAC address and it can be look like 00-00-00-00-00-00, they are in hex mode. NIC is most important component for personal and business

Network Devices: Network devices include all devices, which help make a network workable. These include Hubs (Enables more than one computer to interconnect on a network), Routers (Connects two networks), Switch (Joins multiple computers within one LAN and a Bridge (Allows one network to connect to another

A NIC or network interface controller is a physical component that connects a computer to a computer network. The NIC allows for communication between devices using a specific physical and data layer standard such as Ethernet, Fibre channel and Wi-Fi. These provide the basis for a full protocol stack, which allow communication between computers on the same local area network (LAN) or on large scale networks using protocols such as internet protocol (IP) The NIC can be both a physical and data link layer device, as it provides physical access to a network using cables and uses MAC addresses that are uniquely assigned to network interfaces, for devices to recognise one another.

A router is a network device that routes packets to networks other than its own. Routers are almost like a bridge between networks. Most home use routers to connect their local network (their LAN) to the Internet (which is a wide-area network) with all-in-one devices with routers, modems and wireless access points built in.

vice, e.g. a PDA or a smart phone which acts as a sink for data of the wireless devices. In order

A network enables all PCs and devices to exchange data with each other which means they can all communicate with each other with information and data.

For instance Bluetooth technology has allowed me connect my devices in the house wirelessly. My computer is connected to my phone, my music system, my car, my house printer and my television. With this intranetworking I can play music from my iPod or computer through the music system without necessarily having to walk to the music system to set it up. If I forgot my phone in the car and went into the house then using GPS the phone can locate me and transfer the call to the house phone so that I can receive the call there. This has created so much flexibility and ease of doing

Communication is the exchange of ideas, opinions, facts or the emotions of two or more people. So you say to yourself what does it all mean? Well let me tell you!! Communication is two-way process of exchanging ideas or information. It is a process of sending and receiving messages that produce a response. So this sounds simple enough, right? But there is a whole process involved in it. Our messages will have to go through many stages when it travels from one person to another. Sometimes we can over think this process and never release a single message.

There are four basic types of connection media that are used for connecting separate computers together on the same computer network. Both categories are copper cabling, fiber optic cabling, wireless signal, and infrared signals. The first two types of connection media on our lives are known as bounded network media because they both use wire of some sort in order to connect or bound one computer to another on a network. Copper cables are the most commonly used of the four types of network connection media. Copper cabling sends data in binary format from one computer system on a network to another through the use of electrical signals. Fiber optic cabling follows copper cabling when it comes to frequency of use. Fiber optic cable has a completely different configuration for transferring binary data across the network from one computer system to another computer system. Unlike copper cable fiber optic cable does not use electrical signals when encoding binary data instead it transmits the data as pulses of light. Fiber optic cables transmit the binary data as light pulses in a similar fashion to the way copper cables use electrical pulses to transmit binary data. The next two types of connection media are known as unbounded network media due to the fact that they do not use any type of physical wiring to connect the different computer systems on a
