In easy words, Communication is the act of transferring or sharing information from one place, person or group to another. In other words, communications is sharing thoughts and ideas. Communication is popularly defined as the imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium. If we put it more precisely, communication is the successful conveying or transmission or sharing of ideas or thoughts or feelings between entities.

Communication, from a very practical point of view, can also be understood as the act of transferring information from one person to another for some desired effect.

Although sounds simple, communication is actually a very complex subject to understand in full.

Communication is inevitably fundamental for the existence and survival of humans. Being a process of creating and sharing ideas, information, views, facts, feelings, and such among people to reach a common understanding, communication is a vital key to establish and maintain relationships among individuals. The same is true for groups and organizations of different nature and volume as well.
