Fundamentals of Communication Theory and Media Influence
Unit 1: The Nature of Communication
How do technological advances influence the definition of communication? Initially, communication was etymologically defined as the act of sharing or putting in common, specifically the “passing of ideas, information, and attitudes from person to person.” However, technological evolution expanded this definition to include physical lines and channels—such as canals, railways, and aircraft—and modern inventions like the telegraph, film, and computers.

- Interest

Binary Adders and Subtractors
A Half Adder is a combinational logic circuit that adds two single-bit binary numbers. It produces two outputs: Sum (S) and Carry (C). It is called a ‘half’ adder because it cannot handle a carry from previous additions.
Logic Expressions for Adders
- Half Adder: Sum (S) = A XOR B; Carry (C) = A AND B (A·B)
- Full Adder: This is a combinational circuit that adds three one-bit binary numbers: A, B, and Carry-in (Cin). It produces two outputs: Sum (S) and Carry-out (Cout). Full

Jane is skilled at describing her surroundings, but she is not always adept at revealing her internal state. She explains her decisions and feelings, yet she often appears modest, suppressing intense emotions to seem composed. Fortunately, we gain significant
