                   Ans.  The basic elements of communication are:
                      •  Sender: The sender sends a message either in the form of giving information or asking for information. The sender
                        can be any person, group or an organisation who initiates the process of communication. The sender's knowledge,
                        experiences and skills influence the quality of the message.
                      •  Ideas/Messages: This message can be in the form of an idea or any information a sender wishes to convey or asking
                        for information from the receiver.
                      •  Communication Channel: It is the medium through which a message can be sent. It can be through oral, written or
                        visual methods. These days, technology plays an important role in serving as an important medium of transmission
                        of information so we can send through email, voice mail, social websites, etc.
