New Ways to Communicate

Learning to communicate using different methods has always been an interest. In the beginning, we babbled and hoped someone understood our needs. Learning to talk was a significant improvement.

When I was young, smaller radio stations had to go off the air at sundown. "Clear Channel" stations could then be heard from both the East and West coasts. Sitting up until the early hours of the morning listening to new stations was a great thrill. Then came TV, shortwave radio, computers and mobile devices. Reading newspapers, magazines and books brought a whole new way of thinking about things and relating to others.

I love the idea of this exploration of Web 2.0 as a means of discovering new ways to learn.

  1. I used to love the time at night when the signals switched and I could pick up Canada's, Michigan's and Chicago's broadcasts from Ohio?! But I was always bummed when our local Top 40 station went off at dusk as well.

    Communication and Media are more dynamic today than perhaps at any time in history, rapidly evolving on a global scale transforming both those who practice in the field and their audiences. Thanks to Lisa for trying to keep us on the more-informed side of things.
    Our relationships are evolving through the use of technology in today’s postmodern world.
