Did you know?

The differences between the two words; Communication and Communications.

 Communication is the act of communicating, or to communicate. Communication refers to the process of sharing ideas and information between individuals or groups. Communication is about language, questioning skills, listening skills, rapport building, non-verbal and verbal techniques, etc.

 Communications is the method used to engage in communication, eg telephone, email, writing, radio television, etc
