Human Communication

Human communication is defined as all processes by which one mind influences another, encompassing information exchange through media.
Intrapersonal communication involves self-awareness, such as recognizing feelings like hunger, tiredness, and emotions like apathy, anger, or sadness. Ignoring these can be risky.
Interpersonal communication happens within small groups, emphasizing emotional expression, trust, and language skills. This includes both verbal and nonverbal communication.
The basic communication model involves a source, message, channel, receiver, and feedback loop, with potential noise.
Social media has become a major platform for modern communication, often targeted towards individuals who use technology to respond. A relevant example is video games.
