I need help writing a 10 page pager from these questions. I do not know how to start so I need help answering those questions, so I have some idea for my paper. If you don't mind.
Thanks
How would you like for us to help you with this assignment.
Here are a couple of sites to get you started on the first question.

• The scientific and technical concepts related to communication:
1. Types of electromagnetic radiation involved in communication:
- Communication typically involves the use of electromagnetic waves to transmit information. The most common types of electromagnetic radiation used in communication include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
- For example, radio waves are used for long-distance communication, such as broadcasting radio and television signals. Microwaves are used in wireless communication systems like Wi-Fi and cell phones.
2. Information transmission:
- Information is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic signals, which carry encoded data. The process involves modulating a carrier wave with the desired information to generate a signal that can be transmitted through a medium (such as air or optical fibers).
- Modulation techniques include amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and digital modulation schemes like phase-shift keying (PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
3. Differences between wired and wireless communications:
- Wired communication relies on physical connections, such as cables or wires, to transmit data. Examples include Ethernet cables, telephone lines, and coaxial cables.
- Wireless communication involves the transmission of data without physical connections. It uses electromagnetic waves to transmit information through the air, allowing for mobile and flexible communication. Examples include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks.
• Perspective on communication technology:
- Wireless communication has revolutionized how we connect and communicate with each other. It has made information more accessible, facilitated remote work and collaboration, and enabled the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT).
- The Internet has fundamentally transformed the way we communicate, enabling instant global communication, access to vast amounts of information, and various online services like email, social media, and video conferencing.
- Smartphones have become integral to our lives, combining communication, computing power, and a range of applications. They allow us to communicate, access the internet, navigate, capture media, and manage our daily activities in a portable device.
• Examples of communication technology in daily life:
- Smartphone: The underlying scientific concepts in smartphones include wireless communication (cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), digital signal processing, touchscreens, and various sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS).
- Email: Email operates using standard internet protocols such as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and POP/IMAP (Post Office Protocol/Internet Message Access Protocol). It relies on the principles of computer networking and data transmission.
- Social media: Social media platforms utilize internet technologies, web development, cloud computing, and data analytics to facilitate communication, content sharing, and social interaction.
• Future of communication in society:
- With the ever-evolving advances in technology, the future of communication will likely involve faster and more efficient wireless networks, enabling higher data rates and improved connectivity.
- The rise of 5G networks promises to revolutionize communication by providing ultra-low latency, higher capacity, and increased device density, paving the way for advancements in fields such as autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, and telemedicine.
- Additionally, emerging technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) are likely to shape the future of communication, enabling smarter and more immersive experiences.
