What Is Communication? 

Types Of Industry  

Economic Benefits 

Communication  is  a  transmission  of  information,  especially  by  electronic  or  mechanical  means.  Communication  was first  invented  in  1876  by  ​ Alexander   Graham  Bell  with  ​ Thomas  Watson.  Also,  Bell patented  his   invention  on  March  1876.  In  Canada,  ​ Marshall  Mcluhan​ ,  a  famous   Canadian  philosopher  and  communication  theorist  stated  in  the  late  1950s  that  the  world  is  becoming  a  global  village.  He  said  that technical  improvements  were  making communications easy as if the  world peoples were all living in a small village.  

Canada’s got many different types of industries, the four main  types are: primary industries, secondary industries, tertiary  industries and quaternary industries. A primary industry will  extract raw minerals, secondary industries involve the  manufacturing of raw materials and turning them into another  product, tertiary industries provide services to other industries,  and quaternary industries are high­tech industries like research  and development companies. Now moving on to two sub­types  of industries, the basic and nonbasic industries. A basic industry  is one that provides community services to outside cities, and  helps the overall community to grow, such as factories. On the  other hand, a non­basic industry is one that does not generate  money from outside the community and provides service to  basic industries such as hardware stores. An example of that is  the relationship between some pattern and model making shops,  that will support a nearby automotive industry so that it make  money through exports and other sales.  

Have you ever wondered how much money is made from  communication­related products? Well, a lot of money is  made from it, I can assure you that. Big companies like  Apple and Samsung sell millions of products each year  worldwide, and Apple has probably made $70.000 in  Canada since this presentation started. These types of  companies provide large amounts of money to the  government and jobs to people living in our area. Canada  makes billions and billions of dollars per year from big  American companies, which help the economy grow and  develop more things. Canada is the 12th largest importer  and exporter in the world, making $437 million from  imports and $437 million from exports in 2013, the most  recent communication­related ones being telephones with  $1.53 billion and computers with $10.1 billion.

 Human Resources  The  communication  industry  is  very  large,  meaning  the  workforce  is even  larger.  As  the  generation  of technology  advances  most  graduating  students  filter  into  the  service  sector  and  the  communications  industry.  Whether  it's  at  a  call  center,  a  web  designer, programmer,  radio  or tv show  host,   or  a   publisher.   37,000  companies  comprise  the  information  and  communications  technology  sector,  of  which   87.6%  work  in  software  and  computer  services,  5.6%  in  wholesale,  3.0%   in  manufacturing,  and  3.8%  in  general  communications  services.   This  massive  industry  generates 159.9 billion in revenues, it's also a  major source  of  jobs.  This  sector  already  accounts  for   3%  of  employment,  but  when  new  forms  of  communication  are  introduced  there  becomes  a  new  demand   on  jobs  where  this  new  product  is  produced.  Lastly  this  industry it based  on  exports,  as  new  products  are  produced  more  people  around the world grow interest on it.

Conclusion 

Communications  are  changing  and  fast.  Sometime  these  changes  are  not  good.  As  our  generation  evolves  so  does  our  economy.  With  more  advanced   technologies  some  people   are  losing   their  jobs.   Online  shopping  eliminates  retail  jobs,  automized  telecenters  effect  secretary  jobs,  and so  on.  Another  major  issue  that  communications  technologies  causes  is  that  it  reduces  the  need  for  companies  to  be physically  close  to  their   customers.  Most  call  centers  operate  from  places  where  labour  costs  are  much   lower  than  in  canada.   These  call   centers  have  been  outsourcing  from  places  like  southern  india.  Many  companies  do  this   because  it  reduces  the  cost  of  communications  and  it  becomes  an  insignificant   cost  to  do  business.  These  call  centers work mainly to do things like make  a  reservation, or  purchase a product, and even customer service.  But  these  are  just  a  few  of  the  problems  communications  technology create.    

In  conclusion,  communications  are   improving  every year  and  it  gets  better  and  better  but  still  there’s  some  problems.  Not  everything  can  be  perfect. If there’s a good  side,  there’s  a  downside  also.  Good  side  is  that  we  can  communicate  without  having  difficulty  and the bad side is   that  there could  be  some  errors  and some people may lose  their jobs because of it.
