Communication throughout the ages form our culture.

Hear an experience noted by Mark Federman whose talk entitled on TVO.org “No Educator Left Behind” contends that, as a result of the changes the Internet has brought to the way students communicate and interact, universities, if they are to remain relevant, must move from the current model of education as skills centered to one that is more focused on connectivity. I also believe that adding service in the learning process will go a long way in advancing not only the students knowledge but his/her appreciation for the world around them.

Dr. Federman provided history that illustrated how communication as defined our culture from the beginning of the oral tradition to the Internet. He presents undeniable evidence that “the dominate mode of communications in society creates and environment from which emerge the structure and institutions of that society”. To resist integrating the changes in our communication is to deprive progress with the times and subject our youth to potential isolation from the benefits of culture.
