Text for the prezi, which will follow shortly

A brief pitch on communication.

So communication is everywhere. Right now I'm communicating with you. If you look around your surroundings are communicating with you.
How? They are giving you an impression of the environment, because you feel the way you do about where you are for a reason. For example,
being alone at 2 in the morning down a dark street in hackney will probably make you feel intimidated, so its communicating, in this case imposing on you.
If you are lying in the park in the middle of a sunny afternoon with friends, unless your agrophobic, or an albino and cant take to much sun, you'll probably be relaxed, enjoying the atmosphere and surroundings, so in this case its communicating making you feel at ease. But those are quite abstract forms of communication,a simpler form would be an alarm bell at school. It communicates that its the end of a lesson, or end of the day. If a traffic light turns green it communicates that its time to move. If you pour some milk out of a carton to find it lumpy, its communicated to you that its off.
So communication is information. Information being passed from one object or person to another successfully through any of your senses. Successfully is the key word here because if the transition isn't successful, its no longer communication, its merely information getting lost between hosts.
