The message between two students was clear, but the voice kept breaking because of a weak mobile network. Which communication barrier does this illustrate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Technical barrier
The difficulty is caused by the communication technology or channel, not by the meaning of the message or the speakers’ feelings. A weak network interrupts transmission and makes the voice unclear, so it is a technical barrier. A language barrier concerns vocabulary or language differences; emotional and cultural barriers arise from feelings or differing social backgrounds.
