anyone; an author of a book, a public speaker in special occasion or even a
traffic enforcer.

meaning shared between the sender and the receiver.
◦ 3.) CHANNEL- The channel is the means by which a message is conveyed.
◦ 4.) RECEIVER- The receiver is the person who receives the transmitted
message.
