    Well, I wouldn't hire any of you lot as a business or systems analyst or a systems architect

    Communication is not a tool, it is a process. The actual "tools" are things like radio, TV, printing, telephones, computers and so on.

    The difference is that a "tool" does not achieve anything per se. It is actions with tools (processes) that achieve objectives.

    A hammer is a tool, a screwdriver is a tool, an automobile is a tool. By themselves they achieve nothing, zilch, nada. You have to use them (by invoking a process) to achieve anything.

    You all seem to be confusing "communication", that is the process or activity with "communications" which is a generalisation referring to the actual media or technologies that are the tools.
