Lec 10

Today was our last lecture. Two weeks is really fast but I learnt lots of things about new communication technology. At the final lecture, teacher introduced the invisible envrinment and he summarized the whole course at the end of course. In this lecture, the idea of media ecology was introduced. For example, Marshall McLuhan claims that no envrinemnt is perceptible. The fish in a bpwl-the water is the fish's envrinment. If food colouring is put int the water-the fish sees its envrinement is a new way. If you change the mdeium it can have significatn effects on the envrironment. Another one who named Neil Psotman focus centerd mainly unpon language literacy and education whilst Marshall Macuhans son eric has continued research in this area with resarch into ancien languages. The Second part is about invisible environment, which is called the media environment as well, will become visile to us.

There are summaries about the whole lecture:
Section1: Introduction to New commnnication technologies
Section2: A selective history of computing and the internet
Section3: Social Media
Section4:vreative commons
Section5: Philosophy
Section6: video games
Section 7 & 8: Politics
Section 9: Net work Creative


Terrad old media form-radio-it enahces audio communication-it reverses face to face speach-it retrieves orration and musical perfomance and it obsolesces it makes the absolute necessity for public orration obsolete.

An new form of media-mobile phone- enhances telephony communication-reversres being incommunicable whilst away from lined connunication-it retrieves the need for vocal communication-whilst making obsolete the inability to vocally connunicate as long distances or when in a remote areas.
