Week One Lecture

This was the first lecture of the semester and so it was an introduction to the course. We basically went over what communication is and what technology is and how they intertwine thus creating a course called New Communication Technologies.

Communication: Is any process that transfers, transmits or makes information known to others...

Technology: the scientific study of mechanical arts and their application to the world...

We were then shown a clip that was a story written in short sentences on a number of pages. Written in white writing on a black background throughout the entire clip with the song "Cocaine" playing in the background. The story told of an undercover cop who was receiving drugs planning to bust and arrest the dealer, instead the whole story flipped and he was shot by the dealer who was also an undercover cop...does that make sense??" Anyway, it was really effective yet simple, and anyone could do it if they had the initial idea.

That pretty much wrapped up our introductory lecture.
