0 likes•344 views
Vermont Humanities Summit presentation Nov. 2017 Across time and cultures, humans have designed forms and tools with which to communicate within larger governing structures. From the written word to virtual reality, these innovations have redefined our notions of ourselves, the universe, and society. Arguably our digital communication is causing as profound a change as Guttenberg's Press did. This talk will explore past and future communication technologies, the culture that gave birth to them, and possible implications for the future.
