Your voice can be heard as never before

It is interesting to think about how the world has changed with advancement in computer technology, even just in the last 5 years and mostly in the way it has affected our communications.

History

For most of our history communication has been ‘in person', where people meet and communicate with each other. News would be sent out with runners and good storytellers were popular. 30,000 years ago we invented symbols and 7,000 years ago the letters, so surely some form of communication (stone tablets etc.) must have been exchanged or passed on. The first known official publication saw the light of day just over 2000 years ago, though we had to wait further 1500 years for any privately published newssheets.

The changes were not that massive though, as stories would travel slowly and even though words could be printed most people were still only communicating verbally. Letter writing become common place as we get closer to our time but the essence of communication had not changed that much. Instead of the runner bringing you news verbally, you would receive a letter by carrier or buy a newspaper. In both cases you were receiving news or information rather than giving them.

    If it wasn't for my love of films I might not have decided to write about this new little cute website called Short Reviews.  Not because they don't deserve it, because they do as this is a fantastic site, but rather because we have so many other sites out there doing the same.  Most notable for movie reviews would of course be IMDB which is one of my top 10 visit sites, while on Facebook we have rather unfortunately Flixter as the dominant site.  Similarly for books, shows (tv.com) and music there are countless sites out there....read more.
