Introduction Communication is a manifestation of life. The stunning diversity and spontaneity of life-events are continuously revealed through communication.
Life starts with communication and ends when the ability to communicate ceases.
In between these two points, uncertainty is an inevitable companion of any communication process. Everyday communication is deeply rooted in people's experience stored up in the form of instincts, memory, behavioural patterns, various conceptual and emotional associations. Human experience can be individual as well as a common inheritance and, as long as this inheritance predominates, communication is essentially about the past. No wonder that people's anticipation and predictions are mere extrapolations and projections of their past experiences into future time intervals. By projecting the past into the future, communication intends to reduce the effect of uncertainty about the future.
