Communication and I

Long time back, people travelled themselves to give a message to other people.

Then they started to write letters and send them through messengers. With
time, the postal department was made. The postman belongs to this

department. He brings you letters and parcels.

Now, there are many other means of communication also.

We need to communicate with our friends, relatives and other

people. We cannot always go and see them personally, so we need

to send them messages. The methods to send these messages are
called the means of communication .

There are two types of means of communication :

1. Means of private communication, and

2. Means of mass communication.
