How do the components and processes of communication apply to the electrnic/computer channel?
I'll be glad to comment on your answer.
Btw -- what is the electrnic/computer channel?
I have no idea that is what has me super stumped I have read the two chapters over and over again
Wait it is any form of communication that is not face to face
Ahh -- that makes sense.
We have to be very careful how we word things if we are not face to face. Since we lack eye contact and body language, the words themselves are all-important.
Ok but How do the components and processes of communication apply to the electrnic/computer channel?
Since nonverbal aspects of communication are lacking, you seem to be referring to verbal aspects like the meanings of words and their syntax.
In the context of electronic/computer communication, the components and processes of communication still apply, but with some adaptations for the digital nature of the channel. Let's break down the components and processes and see how they relate to electronic/computer communication:
1. Sender: The sender is the person or entity originating the message. In electronic/computer communication, the sender can be a person using a computer, a software application, or even another computer system.
2. Message: The message is the information that the sender wants to communicate. In electronic/computer communication, the message can be text, audio, video, or any other form of data that can be stored and transmitted by a computer system.
3. Encoding: Encoding is the process of converting the message into a format that can be transmitted over the electronic/computer channel. This can involve converting the message into binary code or using specific protocols and algorithms to ensure efficient and error-free transmission.
4. Channel: The channel refers to the medium through which the message is transmitted. In electronic/computer communication, the channel can be the internet, a local network, or any other form of wired or wireless connection that enables data transfer between devices.
5. Decoding: Decoding is the process of converting the encoded message back into a human-readable form by the receiver. In electronic/computer communication, the receiving device or software application decodes the transmitted data using the same encoding scheme used by the sender.
6. Receiver: The receiver is the person or entity who receives the message. In electronic/computer communication, the receiver can be a person using a computer, a software application, or another computer system.
7. Feedback: Feedback is the response or reaction from the receiver back to the sender. In electronic/computer communication, feedback can be in the form of text messages, emails, online comments, or any other form of response facilitated by the electronic/computer system.
8. Noise: Noise refers to any interference or distortion that may disrupt the communication process. In electronic/computer communication, noise can include technical issues like signal degradation, data corruption, or even external factors like network congestion or electromagnetic interference.
Overall, the components and processes of communication still apply to electronic/computer communication, but they are adapted to the digital nature of the channel. The information is encoded, transmitted, decoded, and received using computer systems and networks, enabling efficient and instantaneous communication over long distances.
