Communication – A video

September 1, 2009 at 7:40 PM (Uncategorized)

Hi Guys and gals,

Once again, this is not one of the blog post assignments, but nevertheless please take a look. A wonderful and hilarious video of why tools for one form of communication can be dangerous for another form or just as effective. Note: the Aboriginal People of Australia uses a bullroarer (an instrument that produce sound when you swing it) to communicate over long distances because of the low frequency of the sound produce which lose less energy and is also clear. Of course, If you try it for short distance communication, it wouldn’t work!

Note also: it is intended as an advertisement. Using a common understanding of how communication works in a society to communicate to them about communicative devices is… such a good marketing strategy don’t you think?

I cannot find the credits yet, will site them when i do.
