UNIT 1 - Different Forms of Media
OK. This is it - the first assignment for EMS3O1: English Media! This is where it all began. The classy looking gent above is Thomas Edison, the father of American invention. He's sitting next to his first phonograph, sort of like a record player. That picture was taken in 1899. Can you believe that in a little over 100 years we have gone from that, to a telephone that fits into your pocket capable of taking the picture, playing the music, and performing 100s of other vital (or trivial) tasks!?
The world of media is vast and impressive, and it can be a lot to figure out - but fear not, we will do it in steps, and by the end you'll be a savvy media consumer and even a fairly accomplished creator in your own right.
Let's get things started - here is the first assignment. It's a relatively short one, but it will function as a foundation, a reminder of where we've come from, and perhaps an indication of where we might be going. Deep.
