Linear communication is the old school model of communication. In the linear model of communication, there is a sender and receiver. In a nutshell, linear communication is described as one-way communication. In the linear model the sender sends a messages to receiver. However, no feedback is sent back from the receiver to the sender. Moreover, when noise is introduced into the linear model of communication it interrupts the message. For example, the linear model of communication is heavily practiced in schools. Some professors just lecture in class and allow students no feedback. Additionally, noise can be described as anything distracting. For example, playing an app during class is considered noise when a professor is lecturing.
Now let’s talk about interactive communication. This model is more modern than the linear model of communication. This model includes feedback from the receiver; this is referred as two-way communication. An example of two-way communication is my friend and I having an conversation or a journalist interviewing a subject. So inclusion the major difference between the linear model of communication and interactive model of communication is that linear model is one-way and the interactive model is two way communication.
