The nonfiction article on communication taught me on how exactly what it
means to communicate, or the exchange of meanings through a concrete,
solid system. However, communication has plenty of other parts that affect
it, such as interfering entropy as well as negative entropy and redundancy
that clear up communication. Vocal and nonvocal communication is present
through the many means of delivering it.

In the dictionary, I learned what the basic meaning of communication. This

way, I know how to get people to know how to get into deeper ideas without
confusing readers.

web/?utm_source=pocket.

In the nonfiction news article, I learned about a setback on the advance of the
web that would eventually lead to social media platforms. The problem in the
article is where faulty links would lead for a person, which could threaten to
break the world wide web. To solve it, the creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee, made
the 404 error simply telling the user that it’s a faulty link.

about a few forms of social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, which are
just branches of the topic concerning speaking with or chatting with others
online.
“Internet.” Dictionary.com, Dictionary.com,

Similarly to a past source, I used this dictionary to find what believe to be the basic
concept of the internet. This way, I know how to get people to understand
harder concepts.

Within this article of the friendships between teens because of technology, I

got helpful data and demographics in just how widespread social media is,
and see just how many bonds are formed over the internet. Using this
information, I realized that communication through the internet isn’t simply

The internet is made up of packet switching (messages fragmented) with routers
(places where packet go to in the interval between devices) and internet
protocols, or rules and restrictions, to this website. This helped me develop
the part of my website that speaks about how the internet works in further

2016. school.eb.com/levels/middle/article/Pony-Express/60817.

The “Pony Express” by Brittanica School helped me see what
communication was like before the internet came along, revealing how
inefficient and dangerous the postal system was the mailmen who rode on
horses to deliver mail. They had to survive the brutal heat, loneliness, and
lack of food between stops. That just proves how communication through
the internet wasn’t a minor step, but as huge bound, breaking barriers along
with it in communication speed and safety.

allow quick communication and comments on exactly how far the internet
went. He also speaks about the technicalities of the internet and how
important communication is to the internet’s success.
