The last tutorial and lecture I had was for New Communication Technologies.
The lecture contained a brief introduction to the course and the expectations of the students enrolled.
We were told what our assessment items were and given definitions of 'communication' and 'technology'
Communication was explained to be, ' a process that transfers, transmits or makes information known to other people.’
Technology is defined as, ‘scientific study of mechanical arts and their application to the world.’
Communication methods have developed immensely since the dawn of man. Beginning with our early ancestors drawing on the walls of caves, to the twenty first century and the use of mobile phones and the Internet.
Though, technology and communication come hand in hand. As technology advances so do the methods of communication. The old technology is replaced by new and methods of communication transform.
An old communication technology would be classified as a landline phone or radio and a new communication technology would be considered as a mobile phone.
As these 'mechanical arts' both old and new continue to be recreated, the ways of communication will in hand also continue to revolutionise the way in wich society interact.
