General Information

Overview

Communications technologies have changed the way we live in profound ways and have determined the shape of contemporary culture around the world. At the same time, people play a role in cultural change by determining how such technologies are utilised. This unit examines the development of communication and its associated technologies such as computer mediated communications, the constructs of Apple and Microsoft and the rise and proliferation of social media platforms. It critically analyses how modern culture has, and continues to be, influenced by these developments and incorporates an intergenerational reflection of the evolution of communication. Through this unit, you will develop a critical awareness of new communication technologies and their impact on a global scale.
