What better way to communicate than verbally talking to your peers. Today many prefer to communicate through written or should I say texting. The problem with this is because it is just words, it can get interpreted wrong. There are ways to make the text have a tone or expression but depending on the mood of the receiver, it can be read incorrectly. When two or more people are in front of each other speaking, one can read the body language and tone of voice and better receive the message. Especially being a student, it is easier to understand the professor explain the literature than just reading it out of a book. Now, there are people that lack listening skills but at least they get the nature of the message. Audio is another great way to communicate. Delivery of a message is very important. Although noise can be a problem with audio it does not construe the actual message. 

As more and more visuals are being pushed out in this technology-topia, colors and symbols is what catches people's eye. Colors always had a huge meaning when it comes to representation, meaning, emotion of a visual. For example, if you see pink you relate it to a girl, white is pure, black could be important, professional, or scary. Colors can also symbolize something in the visual, that’s why symbols are just as important. Symbols are modern day hieroglyphics. By using a certain symbol on a visual it is stating what that symbol means. It’s very crucial to make sure the symbol match the literature in the visual. Because the eye would notice the symbol first, if the words doesn't reflect the symbol, it can be interpreted wrong.
