Speaking Communicationally


          Communication means a connection between people in passing or receiving information to an individual or to groups of people, which was a routine and have been occurring from generations after generations. In addition, this happens due to the world’s events for example, the industrial revolution meaning that the greater the time it passes, more advance technology will be improved due to developments within the contemporary and up coming society.  Communication is another form and built up base for technology: when one becomes more advance and innovated, the other will develop its function afterwards as well. Flashing back to 33,000 BCE was when communication first started, the cave painting. This is the first way the Homo sapiens used to transfer information about their life style and how their life time was like by drawing on their own home, in this case is the cave. However, as time has developed more technology are created and communication becomes more advance in broadcasting information to people ranges from: cave painting, smoke signaling, newspaper, printing press, postal letter, semaphore, Morse code, telephone, pigeons carrier, computer, wireless mobile, internet, and lastly to modern days social network. As you can see from our info-graphic, you will observes that during mid 1700s to late 1800s, technology and communication has extremely developed due to the industrial revolution where it was the start of many of the world’s greatest inventions. Later, communication seems to become more efficient and a major effect of human’s daily activities and have a massive effects in business and stock markets. According to the new formations of technologies and complicated communications assortment, it is human’s nature to find new ways to connect to the others to make profits for their economy level; because people seems to have more wants in gaining money and starting their own business, it is the creation and a formation of the greatest business in economy ever, the stock market. However, the stock market can never be as successful as it is right now if it is lack of people’s participation and the development of technology and communication. So we could conclude that: stock market can only be as big as the communication allows it to be. This means that the bigger communication gets, the bigger the stock market will be. 


Making an info-graphic is a great assignment that needs researches, methods, and creativit to make it successful. Based on the info-graphic on communication our group created, we have shown our skills in researching and designing, as seen below. The process of making an info-graphic is not difficult at all if everyone in the group cooperates as one. The first thing we have to do is brainstorm. In this case, my teacher has assigned us to put at least 15 interesting information about out topic; so firstly, we have to choose what we wanted to put on the info-graphic. I started doing researches on the development of communication: what was used to communicate first until nowadays-contemporary world. Then when we have all the information we are putting it down on our info-graphic, we started to search for examples of info-graphic to inspire us of our info-graphic. Once we had an idea about what our resulted piece will look like, we started to draw its format by using a program called ‘Adobe Photoshop CS5’, and in this case was my responsibility to do all the graphics while the other two are searching for interesting information that is related to each topics. After we have finished on out format of the info-graphic, we started to organize our piece in order and starting to insert facts and related images into it. When we’re done with that, out last step is to add in our bibliography or our sources of information to make it look reliable and trustful.



My group and I has well collaborates on each individual’s assigned jobs but in my opinion, I did the most job in the group because the two members only have to look for information while I have to do multitasking such as: research of information (as well), search for images, and create the whole layout/graphic designs by myself but I would not take that as a risk because I am the only one who knows how to use Photoshop. Everyone in our team has brings together their efforts and cooperation to the group, even though some times our work are delayed, but we still have a wonderful and effective outcome of our info-graphic. I’d like to thanks all my group members for helping and supporting one another all the time, and I hope that we have a chance to work together again on our next project.



I think my group’s info-graphic is really effective towards audience because we use simple vocabularies, make it looks attractive and we climbed up from ancient time to the contemporary society in order to make it easier for readers. In our info-graphic shown below, you cant see that people in early age have to work really heart to come up with ideas for a new invention that would change the whole world. Every modern technology mainly got their ideas from the past inventions and develops it further more by adapting them to people’s culture.  



Making an info-graphic is easy, but making it completely perfect is the difficult part about it because nothing is perfect. First of all, I wanted to clarify that our info-graphic is not ‘THAT’ beautiful, but is not ‘THAT’ bad either. I think the design, colours, facts, and pictures were amazing but what we need to improve on is the shape of the info-graphic. As you can see, our info-graphic is really long and narrow which makes it difficult for us to inserts images on to it because of the disadvantages in spacing. 

            In my opinion, communication means everything to us, humans. This is because we need to communicate around the world, that is the culture we depends our lives on for centuries. If everyone is lack of communication, the world cannot be any more advance in technology because technology means becoming more connected, but if we are lack of communication it means that we are as well, becoming more isolated. Nonetheless, the world will not develop and will remain the same because we are lack of communication and unification. The world can develop as much as communications allows them to, so if there is no communication, they can never be developments in our own society ever. Thank you for checking out my blog on communication, I hope you guys enjoyed it.
