Learning more about social context and how we use social cues to communicate. Along with manners or rules for communicating. These are small things that we do not notice but are important to grasp and understand.

Physical context makes sense, I do not think about it much but I tend to let the environment alter my tone when I am communicating with someone. The environment can make us angry or happy, etc which plays hand in hand when it comes to communication and how we approach the way we speak.

I have never heard of the term CMC before. It is a great term for group technology and the way we use it to communicate. With Technology, we can keep in touch with people across the world and take online classes from anywhere.

In today's time, slang is becoming much bigger, and the words we think have one meaning can mean multiple things now. For example, you can say the word "bad" out loud; one person might think bad as a negative and another might think bad in slang terms, which is a positive: same language, same word but different meanings.

Even though "telephone" is a silly game that people play. How does it relate to communication? Is the game of telephone an example of the transmission model of communication since there is a sender or receiver or not because it is the same message being passed along so there is not much to process?

Encoding is almost like a subconscious thought. As they said at the bottom of the paragraph, we notice that the person has headphones on which is the turning thought process so we find a solution to get his attention by waving as a form of communication. We might not think that waving to get someone's attention is a form of communication since it is not verbal but there is silent communication such as waving hello or bye or to get someone's attention, etc.
