Communication and Its forms

When we hear word communication, for many of us the first thing, we will have in our mind will be speaking of a language. But communication has more meanings than just a speech. It includes also our face mimics, gesture, posture and sounds used by talking. There is for example music considered to be international language as well as dance and ballet. Because you do not have to understand words but you feel the sense from the melody or movement.
 
Specific communication forms are also Brails script, which is world wide known as the script for blind people. Something different is Morse code based on changing of dots and dashes. Very special kind of communication is also gesture language, which use dump people. I have to mention also pantomime which is a little similar to it.
 
Except for verbal communication and sign language, there is also written type of communication and nowadays we use a lot new technologies and we communicate with people not only in our surroundings, but also many kilometres away from our house, our country. Thanks to phone, mobile phone, fax or internet we can be in contact with our friends or family members, living on the other part of the Earth, in a few seconds and minutes. You can chat or even have an online call through internet using Messenger, Skype or others. Email saves a lot of time and also money. But now we are habituated to write them correctly thanks to “spell-checks” of computers.
Because of it when we write classic letter, we can make many mistakes. But sometimes it is better to write a letter with your hand than by computer. It is more personal. Something similar exists also in connection with meeting. Face-to-face contact had and I think that will forever have its charm. You see live person you are talking to, you see her/his reactions which are spontaneous, you can ask what you want or explain something if necessary.
 
In the world there is a huge amount of languages used as an official language, dialect or language used for example in some African tribes. There is not just the one which can speak each of us and we all understand each other like it was earlier in Bible. Although there is one world language called Esperanto, I think many of us don’t even know, what kind of language it actually is. The most used language is Chinese, and officially spoken and used around the world is undoubtedly English. Not only if we want to travel, but also for our job and even life it is really important to be able to speak English.
 
But not each of us can speak English on level which is necessary. Mostly in politics there are for this reason used and needed translators. I admire there people because I can imagine how stressful cam be this job if you have to translate on some important world conference. Because of it these people have to have great skills to hear one language and contemporary to translate it for many people into the other language. But these people can work also sitting and rewriting some texts, for example literature masterpieces. Translators are considered for the invisible men of literature. I fully agree with this declaration, because only thanks to their skills we can read many world wide known books. They are like the second author of the book.
 
For example I can not imagine what would I understand to Shakespeare. He spoke English, yes, but it was hundred years ago or more, our ancestors couldn’t explain meaning of words like software, internet, email, USB, hacker, DVD, CD… No doubt – it didn’t even exist! Everything in our life changes with the time. It is normal, and it happens also with language and communication types. We just have to go hand in hand with the development and to communicate in way, which is at that time considered for correct and official language.
 
For example also English is official language in Great Britain, Australia and the USA and Canada, but there are differences between British English and American English. British autumn is in the USA called fall, biscuit cookie or first floor in America is already second floor.
Also German has different words and pronunciation in Germany, Austria and in Switzerland, who some words are written and spoken absolutely different and for foreigner who learns just the official German, it is unclear.
 
As well as people change and science influences our lives by new technologies and products, also language we spoke, changes. It is normal and we can not stop it.
