Hi everybody
Essay No.2 ! due April 25
Your second essay, is due April 25 - the paper is on the Telegraph, Telephone and the Television.
Your paper is short history of the social context, and technical development of the 3 inventions, then on your final page, a conclusion of sorts - a statement which considers both the immediate, and also, the long term impact of the inventions on culture and behaviour, and finally, a brief speculative consideration, on our future's, communications technologies.
Remember Innis's notion of "technological determinism", technological cause and effect, reciprocity etc.
