The dictionary's definition for communications would be
communicate - transmit information ; "Please communicate this message to all employees"; "pass along the good news"In other words, communication would be the act of transerring information and messages, from one party to another. This can happen in a variety of ways too. It could be a direct transfer for example in a conversation between two people facing each other. It could also involve other mediums like telephones, letters, computers and even a human messenger.
communicate - transmit thoughts or feelings; "He communicated his anxieties to the psychiatrist"
communicate - convey: transfer to another; "communicate a disease"
Why is it important that we know about communications? As designers, we need to realize that communicating is not restricted to the transferring of information from a person to another. In fact even while looking at a poster, thousands of information could be shared in a glance, thus it is an example of communication.
