Communication is a learned skill. Most people have the natural physical ability to talk, but we must learn to speak well and communicate successfully. Speaking, listening, and our skill to understand verbal and nonverbal meanings are skills we develop in various ways. We learn basic communication skills by observing other people and modeling our behaviors based on what we see. We also are taught some communication skills directly through education, and by practicing those skills and having them assessed. There are many forms of communication including: telephones, talking in person, computers (msn, myspace, livejournal, etc.), sign language, media, and the list go on and on. Without communication we wouldn’t be around today. It is a very important part of our existence, and we don’t even really think about it.
