Communication is a continually evolving process in which thoughts and meanings are exchanged between different parties and how they are understood in the absence of noise and influenced by various contexts through appropriate channels.
This definition differs from Communication in the real world since it encompasses the dynamic nature of communication covered by the book under the history of communication. Different tools and ways of communication continue to emerge as technology advances. This definition also includes the decoding or interpretation of communication by taking into account those factors that may cause a message not to be communicated effectively. These include the different types of noises or the choice of channel to be used per the target recipient or form of communication.

I have chosen the above definition because I feel it is a complete meaning of what it is really to communicate, and all the components required to have passed the intended message successfully. It considers the various factors that may influence how a message is perceived, decoded, and those that may interfere with the message by making the receiver unable to decode it, thus expunge meaning from the sent message. If a thought or message is sent via the wrong channel, and the intended receiver does not access it, no communication has occurred. If in the course of sending a message, a particular type of noise affects the message or the receiver's capacity to decode it, then the intended message is not communicated since the wrong result may emanate from the receiver. Various contexts, such as the societal norms, relationship status, cultural economic, political, and others, affect the perception of the message, affecting its interpretation. Hence, the same words may be transmitted by various parties but carry a different meaning or message.
