Week two - Respose to content

The History of Communication


We live in a world that used to "know" things, based on stories they'd been told and what they saw.We have come a long way since then. Then we started writing on things, writing on paper, the phone and radio came, the TV. The first walkman from Sony that came out in 1980, playing cassettes, has become a tiny little shuffle from apple, you plug into a wireless computer that downloads free music. We have fancy phones, cars, planes, busses and trains. A walkman can't even count as "old" anymore, "ancient" may be a better word for it. "Old" now is the first ipod that ever came out. 


There are invented new things every day. There are more and more competitors out there who's trying to come up with the newest and coolest idea. If you buy  iphone 4 today, you miss out on the iphone 5 that comes out two days later, or another smartphone. Soon we won't need computers, we have everything in this phone. 
But what's next??
What seems to be a big focus now is to get people to seem more alive and present when they talk to each other on the phone or computer. So a 3D solution might be on the way. If this is a good thing or a bad thing is yet to be discovered. But what ever it is, it's going to be big.
