7. Communication, culture, and technology
Description
The strategic importance of information is fundamental today, as are the mass media and cultural industries. Throughout history, social communication media have played a determining role in the development and evolution of different societies and cultures. Hence the importance of studying the processes and means of communication (channels of diffusion and means of expression) from a holistic perspective: sociological, psychological, economic, educational, journalistic, advertising, philosophical, artistic, ethical, etc. A study that will optimize these social communication mechanisms, not only from the perspective of the media themselves, but also from the communication needs of any organization. The concept of the Networked Society offers a different point of view on its interdisciplinary scope, in this case emphasizing the role of the Web as a means of social and personal interaction with its own geography and culture.
