Transmission Model of Communication: Shannon and Weaver

The video discusses the Shannon and Weaver communication model, highlighting its simplicity and foundational role in understanding information transfer. It explains the model's components: sender, message, channel, and receiver, using an example. The video also addresses the model's limitations, such as its historical context, lack of nonverbal communication, and absence of feedback. It emphasizes that while the model is useful for understanding basic communication, it doesn't fully capture the complexities of human interaction.
