Answer: Introduction Communication refers to exchange of information, ideas, feelings, etc. through speaking, writing or by some other mediums and methods of communication. The background of the study says that there is a big difference in the communication methods of current time and 5 years back. In this study, there is a comparison and contrast between the methods of communication available today with 50 years ago is provided with effective examples that can help to understand in-depth about the communication. At that time, when the discovery of computer science did not take place, people use to communicate from each other using different types of traditional methods like telephones, letters, telegrams, etc. Now days, we have many technologies that is providing a wide range of methods for the communication. Such methods are not only applicable in a particular nation but also have a global reach. The mediums and methods of communication for today are similar but they are more advanced and technically updated. If we talk about the past times, than people used to communicate via letters that were hand written. Thus, theses letters would transferred to the place where the information had to be given. Gradually this method of communication spread over the years and places that result in a new type of communication method that is telegraphs in the year of 1972. By using the electrical connections the information is transmitted using wires (Rayudu, 2010). It was one of the alternatives available for the people to communicate between each other than to write a letter and deliver it from horses when it was a long distance. In 1800s, a revolution taken place in the methods of communication as there was an invention of telephones and radios were taken place. It makes the communication easier and faster. The messages, information, news, advertisement, etc spread in a much faster way through social media (Barraclough, 2001). Now, there is a drastic change in the communication methods as the technology has ran too fast. With the invention of computers and internet, the process of communication has become very faster than any one can believe. The whole world is changed into a global world. With the inventions of applications, social websites like Facebook, twitter, etc. such platforms has created a new and innovative way of communication (Cartwright, 2002). As we know that the process of communication takes place between two or more individuals. There is exchange of information, ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc. between two or more persons (Ornatowski Staples, 1993). Earlier also there was a mutual understanding between the receiver and senders. It is very relevant to understand the feelings of each otter. In 1940s, there was a direct and indirect communication takes place between the individuals. It can be either face to face or indirectly it can be via phone (Wojcieszak, 1994). Communication process is a continue process in nature. So in earlier times and now too it is as same as before (Jimenez, 2014). Communication is one of the most vital elements of not only humans life but also in the life of animals. It is a beautiful gift by the god. From the past to present, it has changed in many ways but still the importance remained same with the changes of time. The old methods of communication are old but they are very incredible nature. With the changes and up gradation of technology, there are new methods invented that provides a platform for the people to exchanges the views and information is seconds and at any part of the world.
