INTRODUCTION

• Communication
• Communo Latin Word
• To Pass along
• Technology System Components
• Forms
• Communication Systems
• Drawings Their Types

COMMUNICATION

• Pass along ideas
• Exchange information
• Act of sending or receiving message
• Message must be received and understood

4
TECHNOLOGY

• Human process
• Applies knowledge and resources
• Satisfies needs and wants
• Extends capabilities
• Makes life better
• Consists of products, processes, or systems

5
SYSTEM

• Input (Resources)
• People
• Information
• Energy
• Capital
• Tools /Machines
• Materials
• Process (Changes)
• Output (Inpacts)
• Feedback (Information)

COMMUNICATIONSYSTEM COMPONENTS
Lets go to a movie tonight.

• The idea is the source.
• Telling the idea is transmission of a message.
• The receiver hears the message. The message has
  reached the destination.

Clear Message
Transmission (Method of Sending)
Destination (Receiver)
Source (Sender)
This is the starting point for the message.
This is something or someone that gets the

  information.

Storage
Feedback
This is where questions are asked, and
corrections, changes, or confirmations are made.
This is where information is stored, recorded,
written or remembered for recall at later time.
