The message is the central object of any type of communication that is established between two parties, the sender and the receiver. Although in general the idea of message is related to written messages, nowadays the variety of possible messages and communication styles is certainly infinite and allows individuals to maintain contact with other people in very different ways.
To technically define it, the message is the set of informational elements that the sender sends to the person who will fulfill the function of receiver. So, it is only through the message that the communicative phenomenon can be generated, since otherwise people by their simple existence would not necessarily be establishing any connection. In order to carry out communication appropriately, it is vitally important that both parties recognize and understand the language in which the message is stated. In this sense, language can be not only the language, but also the symbols, signs or gestures that are being transmitted.
Until the appearance of writing, the human being communicated through simple messages among which speech undoubtedly occupied a predominant role. After the creation of the first forms of writing, the human being was able to develop more complex messages that, by being able to remain in a written medium, allowed them to be delivered to a wider audience, as well as to insurmountably greater distances. At present, the written message has almost fallen into disuse compared to other communication technologies, among which those related to computing have gained preponderance.
On the other hand, we can also add that gestures, symbols and even body messages have always been used by humans (and other animals) to communicate. Gestures such as hugs, kisses, facial gestures, violent movements and others serve as very explicit messages about what a person thinks or feels who wants to communicate something.
