telegraph curcuit Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the
codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quicly and more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an auditory symbol
of approval Gestures, such as waving and hand-shaking also communicate certain cultural messages
Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantages They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based on speech Radio, television, and telephone are only a few
