Description

Develops a thorough understanding of how social media became the center of twenty-first century living. Students will examine how older technologies such as wireless telegraphy, radio and television continued to increase communication speed, while improving the quality and quantity of information. This is not a history class, but rather an examination of the “how,” “what” and “why” of the path of mass media technology development. Prerequisite: COMM-110.
