Some different steps involved in the transmission of information may be outlined as follows:
1.Origin of information in the mind of the person who wants to communicate
2.Generation of message signal carrying the information
3.Converting the message signal into electrical form using a suitable transducer
4. Processing the message signal such that it will have the capability to travel for a long distance
5. Transmission of the processed message signal. to the desired destination
6. Reception of the processed message signal at the desired destination
7. Processing the received. message signal in such a way to recreate the original non-electrical form

The field of electronics divide into 3 major sub-fields:
1. Computers
2. Communications
3. Controls
Computers
- the largest field of electronics in terms of sales of equipment, services & number of
employees.
- the youngest of the three sub-field of electronics.
- computer intruded the other sub-field of electronics due to the introduction and demand of
automation technology.
Communication
- the second largest among the sub-field.
- the oldest sub-field of electronics, since electronics started with radio communication.
- the introduction of computer made communication fast and reliable.
Control Electronics
- the smallest among the group/ sub-field of electronics
