In
order to become technologically empowered, you need to be
able to reference all aspects of your work to a general model.
We will use a simple Communication Model for our purposes.
| 1. |
We
often have ideas and wish to communicate them effectively
to others. |
| |
 |
| |
|
| 2. |
In
order to communicate an idea, one very basic thing needs
to happen. Every idea needs to be converted into a mediaform
in order for communication to occur. |
| |
 |
| |
This
is a univeral law. No idea can be communicated to another
unless it is first converted in to some form of media. |
| |
|
| 3. |
As
humans, we learn about our world through the 5 senses.
These consist of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
But we only usually use two mediaforms in our usual communication
efforts. These are sight and sound. |
| |
 |
| |
We
usually convert our ideas to sight and sound mediaforms
in order to communicate them to others. These mediaforms
have many sub-categories connected to them. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Converting
ideas to mediaforms is just the first step in effective
communication. After we have a mediaform, we need to effectively
deliver the mediaform to the audience. |
| |
 |
| |
|
| 5. |
In
the 21st century, we have many efficient delivery systems
available. Currently popular forms include print, presentation,
and website formats. |
