Linear communication involves a message being sent from the sender and to the receiver. It can be seen as a one way conversation in which the sender is speaking or communicating but the receiver is giving no response. Linear communication is meant to be direct but, when noise or any other sort of distraction is introduced, the message can be interrupted. On the other hand, interactive communication is when a message is being sent but there is in fact a response from the receiver. I believe an appropriate example of linear communication from my life would be my history class. There are seventy students in my class and our professor doesn’t appreciate being interrupted, thus each class often breaks down to him going over his lecture and sending us his message while the rest of us listen and receive it without giving feedback. However, there is the occasional noise such as a cell phone ringing or a late student entering the classroom that interrupts the message he is sending.
