Communication is apart of nearly every one's daily life, even if you talk to no one and no one talks to you. There is actually a pretty in depth process that people go through for information and communication, whether it be giving or receiving the information. This process, being difficult but simple at the same time, is interesting.
- An idea is created. This is stimulus.
- The idea is put down in some way that it is preserved, but not shown to the public. This is called encoding.
- The idea goes through transmission, transmitting the idea so that the public can now see.
- Then the idea is decoded - going through the process of translating the idea into something the information receiver understands.
- Lastly, the idea is understood and interpreted by the receiver of the information, which is called internalization.
There is much more to this process, such as what impediment each process between stimulus and then the idea being internalized, such as semantic noise; the disturbance of the idea being shared or internalized. This is linked to the encoding process. There is channel noise - choosing what is internalized. This type of impediment is like going on the Internet and browsing through the articles you want on a news site. Then there is environmental noise, which is being disturbed of internalizing information because of surrounding noise. This can be linked to cell phones, talking to someone but being distracted by the environment around you.
Wow! All of that, going through the process of internalizing information, and no one even realizes how they are doing so because it happens so quickly. This process, as stated before, is quite interesting and difficult, though the process is executed with ease.
