Looking Back, Looking Forward
The past reading assignments and projects are all related to this project. This project involves the use of a relatively new communication technology, YouTube. The invention of YouTube reminded me of the “Invent Your Own Writing Technology” project and readings because YouTube has received many of the same criticism as other past communication technologies. I think it is very interesting that this project’s video is going to be available for many people to watch.
The readings on ancient or rhetoric gave a lot of insight on the production of media which is also part of YouTube. I think these readings show that ancient style elements are just as important to media today as they were in ancient times. These elements are important to keep in mind when we produce our short video for this new project.
It is clear that the past assignments (readings and projects) are all important for understanding how to communicate an idea effectively to an audience.
