This will be the first post out of many, talking about when it all started, to when it all ended - the lectures. Therefore, time to sum up and look back at the weekly lectures in New Communication Technology:
Of course, I would have to start with week 1 (hence the dramatic title, trying to stay true to my safari theme)
This was the first lecture, and my first encounter with New Communication Technology as a subject. Like with most of my other subjects, I wasn't biting my nails or looking already stressed out by the overwhelming course outline. When it came to this subject, I was indeed excited. Mostly because I only thought of new communication as texting on my mobile or social networking on facebook, when in fact examples of communication could be the first drawings in caves way back in time. What I definitely know after this lecture is: Communication is any process that transfers, transmits or makes information known to other people. Something I knew more or less before, but now I know the definition of it. Another thing that made me wiser during this lecture and which stuck with me was the definition of technology; Technology is the scientific study of mechanical arts and their application to the world. Which is great. The thing I of course remember the most was the tutespark and that we would need a spectacular slogan to go with it. The last thing I could remember from this lecture was convergence meaning the fact that many communication technologies are today converging, joining together so that more technologies can be accessed from one point. Roar,
