    Study Notes

    Communication Models

    • Simple Model of Communication: defines communication as creating shared meaning, but has limitations, such as assuming a one-way process and neglecting the role of feedback.
    • Osgood and Schramm's Model of Communication: shows communication as an ongoing and reciprocal process, where all participants are "interpreters" creating meaning through encoding and decoding messages.

    Communication Process

    • Encoding: transforming a message into an understandable sign and symbol system.
    • Decoding: interpreting signs and symbols to understand the message.
    • Medium: carries the encoded message, such as sound waves, telephones, or mass media.
    • Noise: any interference with successful communication, including physical distractions, biases, or technical issues.

    Mass Communication

    • Defined as creating shared meaning between mass media and their audiences.
    • Similar to interpersonal communication, but with differences in scale, immediacy, and feedback.
    • Mass communication tends to be more constrained and less free due to the distance between participants.

    Technologies in Communication

    • VCR (Videocassette recorders): allowed time-shifting and zipping.
    • DVD (Digital video disc): allowed stopping images without loss of fidelity, subtitling, and accessing information tracks.
    • DVR (Digital video recorder): enabled rewinding and playing back portions of a program while recording it.
    • Digital cable television: offers interactive television, multiplexing, and video-on-demand.

    Internet and Digital Communication

    • The internet is a network of networks, growing rapidly, and consisting of LANs and WANs.
    • Internet Service Providers (ISPs): offer internet connections at varying rates.
    • Instant messaging (IM): allows real-time communication.
    • Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP): enables telephone calls over the internet.
    • World Wide Web (WWW): uses hypertext transfer protocols (HTTP) to transport files, and consists of hosts, URLs, domains, browsers, search engines, and home pages.
    • Social networking sites (SNS): online communities for socialization and interaction.

    Changes in Mass Communication

    • Digital natives: people who have never known a world without the internet.
    • Online feedback can be immediate and direct, similar to interpersonal communication.
    • Global village: the idea that new communication technologies will permit people to become increasingly involved in each other's lives.
    • Media do not deliver information, but rather alter relationships between people and their world, encouraging new meanings and constructions.

    Key Concepts

    • McLuhan's idea: "We shape our tools and afterward our tools shape us."
    • Communication technologies fundamentally alter relationships between people and their world.
