A short history of Communication… its good to talk, even better to collaborate!
Would there be society without communication ?
Pen is mightier than the sword...1088 University of Bologna founded
Knowledge starts to be shared to an increasing audience
Communication becoming an enabler...
… used for positive and negative aims
Communication speaking too the masses...
… information only flowing one way though!
The written word is now easier than ever to create...
… still slow to share
The world is starting to communicate...
… not necessarily all that well though!
Information becoming freely available at your fingertips...
… although created by the minority
A huge leap in information output...
… driving ideas, connections and confusion
Everyone can get involved and collaborate...
… allowing more communities to grow
Challenges in communication
Good communication should be...
Good communication is not boring..
How do you make something interesting...
...do you know why its appealing?
Engaging
