the future of communication

I found this video to be interesting as the lecturer doesnt just talk about new communications and the media he also tells various stories. He begins with a story from when he travelled to New Guinee. The villiage he stays at just shows how different communities are with out new communication technologies. It varies for this villiage though as a new communication technology is not an online networking website but it is in the simple form of writing. The lecturer also shows how new communication technologies were used to make an ad for the super bowl. They got people to upload their own videos onto the internet and then a winner is chosen and their ad is shown. The video also shows how new communication technologies can link people. An example he uses is the website called 'dig it' which is a user generated filtering site. This website can help make one video be spread to millions of people. Overall I feel that this youtube video is interesting and shows how a few different types of new communication technologies can work.
