I wouldn't worry about it sandy - it would seem I can complicate what I thought would be a word game to describe the different ways of communicating. As this thread is not attracting many people to participate, there seems to be no reason to continue. Here were some more examples that I could think of off the top of my head:
Bell ringing – call to church
Yodelling – alpine herders calling herds / communicating over distance to other people
Texting – written message on mobile phone
Sign language - using visual gestures and signs, as used by deaf people
Drums – used in cultures living in forests as a way of long distant communicating
Drums – ceremonial, ritual, entertainment
Telephone – used to talk to people over long distance
Skype – talk to people over long distance using the internet, usually viewed with a web cam
Email - messages distributed by electronic means from one computer user to one or more recipients via a network
Television – used to communicate with viewers as well as educate and entertain
clock face – communicates a measure of time
Dancing – instinctive, connects people to rhythm of nature / personal expression / social connection
Wearing a uniform - set of clothes that identifies the members of the same organization such as nursing / military / school / police
Face painting – ancient and tribal / identity (example flags of countries in world sports) / prelude to war
Flags – various purposes: Identity (such as heraldic flags used in medieval times) or signifying conquer (after a war and / or claim of new territory / or personal achievement after something of high risk and effort such as on top of a mountain, the earth’s pole, the moon) Also advertising, celebration, communication (ships / displayed half-mast during a time of national mourning)
Ring tones – a customised sound made by a mobile telephone to indicate an incoming call or text message
Memo - Informal written brief, note, record, reminder, or summary sent within an organization
Smoke signal - a column of smoke used as a way of visually conveying a message to a distant person
Beacon – used to attract attention for a purpose such as warn of an approaching enemy, a call to arms. When several are used over long distances, is a form of communication (example, in Lord of the Rings, or when the Spanish Armada threatened to invade England in 1588)
Nursery rhymes – used to teach young children rhyming songs now, it has been suggested some were originally used as a method of criticising or mocking the King and/or the Church indirectly so as to avoid death or torture for treason.
Rubber stamp – a definitive answer on paper forms (PASS/FAIL, First Class, No entry etc)
