There are so many mediums to share messages but examining where those mediums originated from can help us understand where future communication might be headed.
Think about the way we communicate- Tweets, status updates, blogs... But how did people communicate in not so distant past?
Telegraphs sent tiny messages across states and oceans in much the same way that Tweets travel across boundaries. There are so many ways that individuals and corporations communicate with others that it is nearly impossible not to wonder what the most effective medium is.
But what comes next? Yes, palm sized phones and netbooks help us communicate quickly from nearly any location-- but their ancestors-- the telegraph and a room sized super computer were once the most advanced technologies. Technology will continue to evolve and media will continue to reposition itself to spread messages. But how? What's next? Have we reached the peak of technological inventions? I doubt it but I do wonder what's on the horizon.
