Technology and Communication Today is a very exciting time in communication technology, especially with the continued development of multimedia communication. Almost all phases of our lives, including business, education, and entertainment, will be affected by multimedia communications. Throughout history human learning processes have continuously adapted to changing technologies. "Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior as a result of experience" (Coe 33). One way in which people learn is through communicating with their environment. Communication, a necessary part of human life, is the process of sharing thoughts, ideas, messages, and information with others. It includes a wide variety of communication elements:
From the earliest days, people have endeavored to convey ideas to one another with clarity and ease. First such an exchange was facilitated merely by the simple concept of interpersonal communication: one person told another person something. While this was good for small villages or tribes, the growth of human population and human experience necessitated a change in the paradigm. Each communication process was further developed by the technological changes of the era. From ancient cave drawings to Sumerian pictographers recording events on clay tablets to the Mayans making writing paper out of tree bark, people have improved the way in which they communicate. |
