The physics of sound is the topic we covered in class this week following Claude Shannon with the basic elements of any general communication system. The general communications system includes a source of information which is a transmitting device that transforms the information or “message” into a form suitable for transmission by a particular means. The information has to have an order to it rather than being random. We have to look at what is the minimum amount of information to send through the general communication system. Digital media is an unnatural entity that has alienated social aspects. The question purposed in class was “What does technology do to us”? Technology has driven people to only be focused on the screen of our phones or computers. It has affected the social aspects of our lives because it has caught our attention as being the only way to grab our attention. People find attraction with technology because it keeps us included in everybody else lives. Why do we need to be apart of other peoples lives? Why can’t we focus on our own lives and living it the way we should live it? Will people ever live life fully if their face is stuck in a small screen? I wonder what would happen if technology was suddenly taken away from us. Unfortunately we would never find out as technology progresses into the future.
