Abstract

Based on the method shown by nature the communication methods, that mankind uses today in many different ways, are obtained through science using the sixth sense of man. From the time when caves were used as homes to today when we are exploring ways of living in the sky, communication has been the basic need of mankind. During the Sangam era, there was a practise of announcing news by playing Murushu (drum). Based on this, it is known that the Tamils acquired the ideas of the elements of public communication in the Sangam period itself. In the classical period, there was a sharing of internal and external life messages. This article aims to examine how communication has played a role in the changes in life in the contemporary environment from then to today.
