By Jerri Perry


Human beings have been using different channels of communications so as to pass on a number of messages to certain individuals or groups. In the process, the means of interactions have been improved over the years of interactions creating various social groups. Symbols and special languages have evolved over the years to give birth to the modern ways of life. The African social network is as a result of the tremendous growth in the various languages.

The modern man has gone through various changes. The changes started with the early man. Most of the changes in the process of evolution have been necessitated by the need to have systematic and great ways of communication. Early man used to draw various types of symbols on the walls of caves with an aim of passing information. The writings on the walls were replaced by drums and smoke signals. These gave birth to the early use of pones in communication.

There are various reasons why people communicate. Through communication, some messages are passed on to the intended group of people. The process of transmission is done in such a way that the message does not get distorted. The channels used depend on the urgency of message. Urgent messages are transmitted by the fastest means of communication available.

The communication channels also forms the various bases on which the interactions are formed. People interact with other people who share the same opinion about various matters in life. Like-minded people thus form a special social cycle. Through the interactions, people are able to form closer relationships.

These phones had the basic applications that could be used for making various types of phones calls. The phones also had simple applications that ere use for sending of texts. Communications and interactions thus became easier.

Interactions got advanced as people could communicate with ease.
