Problems with technology
In this day of age technology seems to be an essential part of everybody's working life no matter your working background. Yet, not everybody is up to scratch on the communication side of technology. Such things such as knowing how to use the computer first of all, such as operating the computer to access communication utilities such as Emails and Skype.
Using email services such as Gmail needs some form of experience and/or training to access such things in the email such as contacts,inbox ,sent box and of course creating and sending an email.
These barriers can create problems in the workplace especially if data is needed to be sent over a long distance or if communication is needed between employees. Certain applications such as a firewall could also block communication by blocking certain ports on skype etc.
Barrier used in language
Language of course is another essential part of everyday life but certain language can become a problem for people.
Certain things such as using too advanced language for the audience will make misunderstanding and/or make the intended audience bored and uninterested. Also underwhelming language can make the audience bored as they are already familiar with the subject that is being spoken on.
Of course the actual language being spoken or typed in will need to be in a language that the recipient will understand. For example a person who only speaks English will not be able to understand an email that was typed up in french and also it could be the same case if slang terms were used.

Body language
Make a certain amount of eye contact with your audience to show that you are engaging with the audience and have confidence
Don't cross your arms as this shows that you can be defensive Don't fidget about as this can show that you are nervous and smile and laugh with the audience to show that you are a positive person.

Body language barriers
A first impression can only be made once and it is always our body language that is judged first. Such things can be read as being a personal problem. Such as having your arms folded can be seen as being defencive, messing with your hands, checking the time constantly, during a conversation can show that you are not interested in the conversation. Pointing your finger towards someone can be seen as threatening and rude.
