Communication involves the sharing of information between individuals through various means. Early humans communicated through gestures, sounds, and facial expressions, eventually developing written symbols. The invention of paper and the printing press allowed for mass communication. There are four main types of communication: verbal, visual, non-verbal, and written. Common forms of individual communication include talking in person or on the phone, while mass communication occurs through media like newspapers, television, and the radio. Modern technology has provided many options for communication, such as telephones, intercoms, faxes, and radio transmission.

1. Telephone - A telephone is a communication tool.
Originally it was an electric tool transmitting
analogue speech along wires. Now it is an electronic
tool sending digital signals on wires or radio
transmission. Using a telephone, two people who
are in different places can talk to each other.
2. Intercom - An intercom (intercommunication device)
is a stand-alone voice communication system for
use within a building or small collection of buildings,
functioning independently of the public telephone
network.

3. Fax – Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called
telefax is the telephonic transmission of scanned
printed material (both text and images), normally to
a telephone number connected to a printer or other
output device.
4. Radio - The prime purpose of radio is to convey
information from one place to another through the
intervening media (i.e., air, space, nonconducting
materials) without wires. Besides being used for
transmitting sound and television signals, radio is
used for the transmission of data in coded form.
