The key ideas from today's lecture:
Understanding what communication is
*Any process that transfers, transmits or makes information known to other people.
*Definitions of communication are/have constantly updated throughout history.
Understanding what technology is
*Communication is not possible without technology!
* Technology is the scientific study of mechanical arts and the application to the world AND the knowledge base of how they are used
*Technologies are extensions of our human body, e.g.- glasses extends the ability to see
* Technology by itself is just a piece of technology but using it in a social and cultural context means it becomes a median of communication
Summary
*Understanding communication, technology and media and how they apply to our everyday life!
