Another Monday...

Today we watched a video that was aired live in 1994 that shows us the communication between different broadcast locations. This video is a comment on how we communicate to each other in the same electronic space. Compared to the quality and level of communication now, this video can be described as something very chaotic.
This leads me to think about the level of electronic communication now. It is true that television shows are organized in different genres and are grouped by different stations, but the idea of hundreds of television programs running at the same time in different places is chaotic itself. The internet is parallel with this as there are millions of websites that exist within the same space. Someone could be messaging their friend on facebook the same time 300 other individuals are looking at photos, researching, watching videos, or uploading files. We may think that we have developed to a more organized system, but in fact the level of communication we have now is not much different from the electronic communications in 1994.
