modes of communication



When looking for modes of communication online, I came across this visual taxonomy of different modes of communication and interaction created by designer Nathan Shedroff. I found it interesting because it shows the numerous modes of communication and the variety of types of communication and how it is expanding, especially in recent years due to technology development.

My own list seems insignificant in comparison to this seemingly exhaustive list. However, I have thought of: writing, pictures, props, acting, behaviours, body language, expression, text, written, email, presentation, snail mail, media, augmentative and alternative communication devices, facial expression/eyebrow movement, various artistic expression, and general conversation.
