Document Summary

Lecture #3: from telegraphs to internet; mobile media and struggle. Purpose: be able to transmit data at a quicker speed. A . 6 billion dollar fibre optic cable is planning to be built that connects japan and uk. U(cid:374)like (cid:449)riti(cid:374)g, tech(cid:374)ical media do not utilise the code of a workaday language. They make use of physical processes which are: They move data faster than our sense can take in (faster than human perception) Are only at all susceptible of formulation in the code of modern mathematics. Humans are not able to process code, data etc fast enough. Eventually they do not need humans to perceive, interpret, translate and inscribe data. We move from oral face to face to a situation where communication takes place in the realm of machines. Series of towers with big mechanical arms with one person operating the arms and the second person looking at the second tower. Though the decoding/encoding is proper, speed may take a while.
