  Communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As the technology evolved, communication protocol also had to evolve; for example, Thomas Edison had to discover that hello was the least ambiguous greeting by voice over a distance; previous greetings such as hail tended to be lost or garbled in the transmission.
As regards human communication these diverse fields can be divided into those which cultivate a thoughtful exchange between a small number of people (debate, talk radio, e-mail, personal letters) on the one hand; and those which disseminate broadly a simple message (Public relations, television, cinema).
In fact, it is the changing technology of communication that tends to make the most frequent and widespread changes in a society - take for example the rise of web cam chat and other network-based visual communications between distant parties.

 Proximity Communication - the Technology
Because communication between chips does not rely on wired connections, the number of connections between chips is much higher than with ball bonds (about 100 times greater).
Because the space taken up by the communication path, the power and the cost per bit transmitted all go down, it will be possible to get tens of terabytes per second in and out of a single VLSI chip.
This is made possible by the fact that Proximity Communication is inherently tolerant of different voltage levels needed for different semiconductor materials, and also by the fact that Sun's approach includes asynchronous logic to remove the need for a common clock between two circuit chips.
