LEARNING GOAL
Students will be able to identify the

components of a typical communication system Explain the difference between data and information

Scale Yourself
3 2 I know the components of a communication system and can identify all of them I know the components of a communication system and can identify some of them

I have heard about the components of a communication system but I cannot identify any
I do not know the components of a communication system

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Communication-any exchange of information

Communication technology-the technology

that allows us to communicate

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Source- the person or machines that has a message to be delivered Encoder- device that changes the message into another form for

transmission Transmitter-device that sends the encoded message toward its destination Medium- the wired or wireless means used to send the information Receiver- the device that accepts the encoded information and relays it to the decoder Decoder- device that translates the encoded message into an understandable form Destination- the person or machine that receives the decoded message

7 STEPS TO TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE A MESSAGE

4. Medium (Microwaves) 3. Transmitter

5.Recieve r

1. Source 7. Destination

2. Encoder

6. Decoder

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Messages can be placed in storage so that they can be retrieved

later
Example :Voicemails

As I showed you in the previous slide talking on the phone is an

example of using a communication system

In groups (tables) diagram the seven elements of a

communication system
Table 1,5-Television Table 2,6-Radio Table 3,7-Telegram Table 4,8-E-mail

AN EXAMPLE OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Suppose that you have an idea to meet in a specific chat room online

with a friend from another country. You call your friend on the phone and say, Lets meet online tonight in this chat room
What is the system? Who is the source? What is the encoder? What will

transmit your message? What will receive your message? What decodes your message? What is the destination?
Source- You Encoder-Telephone

Transmitter- Satellite
Receiver- Satellite Decoder- Phone Destination- Your friend

AN EXAMPLE OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Suppose your friend cannot meet online tonight. Sorry, I cant. I

must study tonight.

Your friend provided feedback. This proves that your message

was heard and understood.

Feedback: a response to the receiver's question or statement

Your friend then says, But lets remember to do it Friday night.

The both of you will store the information in your mind. When Friday comes, you will remember to meet online
This is an example of retrieval.

TYPES OF MESSAGES
The type of communication system we use depends on the type

of message to be sent.
Some communications allow humans to communicate with other

humans. Others transmit information from humans to machines and others allow machines to communicate information to humans or to other machines.
Messages intended for machines are very different from those

meant for people. They may be computer programs to run computerized machine tools, or access codes or passwords for a secure Internet site.

TYPES OF MEDIA
Millions of people use the Internet every day for various different

reasons. Social media is replacing older forms of media.

Media-Sources of communication and information such as

newspapers, radio, and television broadcast, and the Internet.

Social media- any digital tool or service that uses the Internet
