Communication is the sending and receiving of spoken or written messages between people and places. We can talk to people living far away over the mobile phone, send and receive messages. When we have to communicate with a big group of people, or many people at one time, we have to use means of mass communication. Now we can listen to news, discussions and enjoy the different programmes of entertainment without leaving home. We can also learn about the habits and culture of the people of different parts of the world.
