Reflecting on this weeks lecture content I curated an image that I feel best embodies my favourite concepts. The switching on of distributed information. This image is a nod to J.C.R Licklider‘s “Galactic Network” concept, apart of the foundation of the creation of the internet according to the ‘Internet Society’, as well as honouring the paradigm shift that was bought on through the process of the world connecting. Perspectives shifted as new things became possible and as mindsets continue to change more ideas will present themselves. This lecture about the history of communication from the telegraph to the internet made me very excited to see what the future and the next 20 years is going to hold.

Hey Laura, how did you make your remediation? It looks great! I’m definitely with you about being excited for the future of communications. In my blog, I looked at Nathaniel Hawthorne’s quote and how it inspired Marshall McLuhan’s idea of a global village. It’s insane to think that people were having these ideas before the telegraph and well before the internet even existed. It makes me wonder if there’s anything people are saying now that could prove to be true in the next 50 years? Only person I can really think of is Elon Musk and his comments on a Neuralink brain chip.
