EL-336 Portfolio 3 To Infinity and Beyond
The History and Future of the Book; EL-336 comes to an end. This course has taught me the fundamentals and importance of cultures, how they succeeded to progress into digital technology, the final frontier of our lifetime. The pioneers of speech went back to ancient Greek times. Orators, as they were acknowledged, were important members of society who educated their civilizations on news, philosophy, and other important subject matter. Public speaking eventually led to books. Books were another way of transmitting information from one person to masses of people. One did not have to stand in a particular place in order to read, unlike speaking. The book was mobile. Books ultimately paved the way for a digital culture to arrive. The digital culture is one of the most important cultures because it affects society in the twenty first century. Most mechanisms are digital. The advent of digital technology has changed the ways consumers live their lives. Topics in Media and Culture has been an important learning tool in the field of communication. The course has opened my eyes to new levels of thinking.
