Communication is the sharing of knowledge by a number of means. These include visual methods such as sign language, auditory, such as voice and music, and physical, such as touch.

Human communication refers to the social interaction of sharing information for the purpose of 1. understanding, 2. social connection. As social animals, communication facilitates our natural and innate desire to connect with one another, create interpersonal relationships and maintain and encourage social bonds. Communication allows humans to express the shared set of physical, emotional and psychological needs that are alive inside us at any given moment. When we experience need-deprivation or need-satisfaction, communication allows us to give this information to others for the purpose of enriching life for ourselves and others. Enriching life refers to the innate human desire to contribute to our own and others well-being through the process of interacting socially and connecting empathetically.

As developed below, communication happens at many levels (even for one single action), in many different ways, and for all beings, and some machines. Many or all, fields of study dedicate some attention to communication, so when speaking about communication it is very important to be sure about what kind of communication are we speaking about, mainly: what type of things are communicated, between what agents, and with what kind of results. Communi custodia, is the Latin term for a writ which lay for a lord whose tenant holding by knight's service died and left his eldest son under age, against a stranger who entered the land and obtained the wardship.
