MESSAGE
A message in its most
general meaning is an object of communication. It is a vessel which provides
information. Therefore, its meaning is dependent upon the context in which it is
used; the term may apply to both the information and its form.
In
communications science
·
More precisely, in communications
science, a message is information which is sent from a source to a receiver.
Some common definitions include:
·
Any thought or idea expressed in a
language, prepared in a form suitable for transmission by any means of
communication.
·
An arbitrary amount of information whose
beginning and end are defined or implied.
In communication between humans, messages can be
verbal or nonverbal:
·
A verbal message is an exchange of
information using words. Examples include face-to-face communication, telephone
calls, voicemails, etc.
·
A nonverbal message is communicated
through actions or behaviors rather than words. Examples include the use of
body language and the actions made by an individual idea.
In
computer science
There are two main senses of the word
"message" in computer science: messages passed within software, which
may or may not be human-readable, and human-readable messages delivered via
computer software for person-to-person communication.
1. Message passing is a form of communication
used in concurrent and parallel computing, object-oriented programming, and
interprocess communication, where communication is made by sending messages to
recipients. In a related use of this sense of a message, in object-oriented
programming languages such as Smalltalk or Java, a message is sent to an
object, specifying a request for action.
2. Instant
messaging and e-mail are examples of computer software designed for delivering
human-readable messages in formatted or unformatted text, from one person to
another.
