The Genealogy of Communication was discussed in the lecture. Learning the historic background of old communication methods was crucial to understand what communication is now and of most of all, have we considered ourselves as humans who simply cannot survive without communication via technology. Before such inventions, communication form would have been quite difficult. Today, if we were to look at the world with an old-fashioned eye, it would also be hard to communicate with other people. In other words, the creations of new devices are subtle and people are expecting more or even demanding to amaze them. It's amazing to see how last year's laptop would look so old compared to this year's. It's only a year gap!
The invention of electricity has definitely been and still is, the integral part of making such communication devices. Electricity is essential. No doubt about that. It's easy to say that after the Greek's invention of vowels, electricity is next.
The linguistic roots of communication means to bring a community together. Looking at the world today, it certainly is connecting everyone especially through the internet. Nonetheless, we can be defined as communication.
