"ary! Bob! Dinner in 10 minutes," you yell out the kitchen window because you know the kids are outside somewhere. You transmit a simple message to a known receiver. Usually, the message is received and understood, and the hungry kids show up, but sometimes they may not hear you (so they say, anyway). When that happens too often, you may yell the message twice to make sure it gets through.
The 10 minutes pass and still no kids. You call again and your voice becomes a bit sharper: "Mary, Bob. Dinner NOW!" The severity of the message increases.
