What is “Communication”?
Posted on | December 31, 2004 | 5 Comments
In the New York times article on the internet and socializing, we’re told that “57 percent of Internet use was devoted to communications like e-mail, instant messaging and chat rooms, and 43 percent for other activities including Web browsing, shopping and game playing.”
And it made me think that a fairly arbitrary distinction is being made here in the use of the word “communication.” If I post to my blog or Flickr, or view other people’s posts or photos, am I not engaged in “communication”?

I think communication is everything that comes from someone and goes to someone else. This can be emotion, words, and just a glance.
