ORIGN/EVOLUTION OF COMMUNICATION

   Communication  has existed since the time immemorial but it was not at the form which it is now. In ancient era, communication was done through signs and signals. For example, showing happiness or alerting by beating drums, which is still prevalent in some primitive African culture of lighting of fire in the steeple of church to give a message that war is started and many others ways of expressions. And these signals in due course of time moulded into symbols which we call writings.Hieroglyphics of Egyptian civilization is known as the first historic writing. Similarly, Greek civilization is considered to have their own historic language called Hermeneutics considered to be the language developed by Hermes, the Greek God of communication. In addition to it, the oriental culture too has its own script which is the language used in Ramayan, Mahabharat, four vedas and eighteen Purans, which is sanskrit and is consired oldest in oriental Mythology.
    Man has been using language as a tool of communication for centuries. It has enabled him to interact with the environment and to regulate his social behaviour. Though there are a number of means of communication, language is the most widely used instrument. It acts as a repository of wisdom, a propellar for the advancement of knowledge and a telescope to view the vision of the future. Though human society has progressed with remarkable speed,the use of language for communication is still not free from ignorance, prejudic and superstition.
      Moreover, communication is essential fact or instrument to communicate or survive in a community or the world.
