  3. Oral communication is how people communicate each other’s using words. Oral communication occurs when people interact and a message is exchanged. I think that people started to talk when human evolution occurs because the necessity to have a better communication. I don’t think that oral communication will disappear at all, but people have stopped to talking face to face because of technology.

  7. 4. It is difficult to imagine a scenario in wich verbal communication has died, since it has been for long the most relevant via to communicate our ideas, feelings. The emergence of a new and more efficient via would be necessary.

  9. 1. Why is Oral Communication so important?
    Our evolved capacity to communicate ideas is what separates us from the rest of the animals. Thanks to their lucky star, apes developed this capacity that helped them organize groups for hunting, and then into villas and from there to the metropolis that we have today. In other words we owe our modern world to that moment in evolution when we developed the capacity to speak and to those of our ancestors who perfected it.

    2. When does Oral Communication Occur?
    Since oral communication is the use of word spoken from your mouth; It occurs when we express our ideas, knowledge or give suggestions to the listener and then receive feedback. This could be either over the phone, when giving speeches or on face-to-face conversations.

    3. When did humans start talking?
    There are many theories on how and why we are the one spicy with the more evolutional communication system. One of the more accepted says that more meat eating lead to bigger brains, and to long lasting childhood and the need of mother to communicate with babies resulted in the many different languages we know today

    4.Will verbal communication ever die out, or come close to it?
    It certainly won’t, or not in a close future. It took humans millions of years to be able to articulate such impressive communication language like no other animal has ever done and therefore it is not likely to die soon. Nevertheless, we have to recognize communication is changing with the era of technology and will change even more but its verbal form will not really disappear.

    5.Do you believe there will ever be a day when people don't talk to other people in the first instance and would have to sit and think through how to communicate verbally, rather than learning to use a new gadget and have to look for the right key on a keyboard etc.?
    Many animals are capable of using sounds to communicate. However, there is a colossal difference between the tweet of a birth or the mu of a cow, and a human standing before an audience reciting a poem. We have come a great length throughout human history to get where we are now in terms of communication: we have found to way to share thoughts from one side of the world to the other and from one epoch to a future one by recording these same ideas so we are simply not going to let that go easily. Communication, like I said on the previous question is changing and will change a lot more; though, that does not mean face to face conversations are close to disappear. The invention of electricity did not make candles disappear.

    Humans start talking since long time ago, they began to express they feeling and ideas to the other and get more ideas how to do it.

    4. Will verbal communication ever die out, or come close to it?
    No I don’t think so, I think that the only way OC die out will be when human being disappeared
