Communication vs communications: communication: refers to the study of communication, what we study, what it entails, the process, communications: refers to the tools in which we use to communicate. Communication is a very convoluted field with many parameters making it hard to define. I would not say there is a universally accepted definition as it can be approached from many angles. Some definitions that stuck out to nick were information being passed from one place to another , There are two branches of the communication discipline national and international. There is a difference between the term communication and communications. Communication: refers to the study of communication, what we study, what it entails, and the process of communication. Communications: is used to refer to as the tools in which we use to communicate. Some examples of communications are social media platforms, phones, and the internet.
