In today's lecture we discussed the various Electronic Media Ages and how they evolved.
The first Electronic Medai Age involves Centralised Dissemination.
In which was primarily based on the concept of having more than one source but many receivers in return.
Because of this concept the network is very limited, the basis for this limitation is due to the educational, technical and financial boundaries which limited the capacity to send and receive messages from others.
The second Electronic Media Age involves Decentralised Interaction.
The concept of this era was that varioius people are able to talk to several people at the same time, however restrictions were still evident for instance internet aswell as computer literacy limits the amount of people whom can access this technology. On the otherhand clearly the internet has one major advantage as it enables users to illustrate their views and opinions freely to a global audience.
The other topics discussed in this lecture which I found to be quite interesting were the concepts of Utopia.
Utopia, a world of perfection - living harmoniously with technology. This statement introduces various questions.
Could this world ever exist?
Does our present world depict this idea of utopianism?
What are the complexities and limitations of such a world?
Are the machines and technology that humans continue to develop eventually lead to a surreal world of utopianism in the future?
Technology should not be developed to the stage where it can overthrow the human race. Humans should have full controll over technology. They are created to better our existence not hinder it.
