The Adaptation people make towards new technology.
Communication is vastly important in our world. If we did not have communication our society would crumble and nothing would even advance in the way it does right now. We humans depend on communication and because of this we have strived to create new ways of enhancing our capability of doing so. (Houser, 1997).
The evolution of technology has only been possible because the human population has adapted to it. (Lecture 2, 2011). It may take a while sometimes but eventually people get used to the new ideas and they become a part of everyday life. Our ancestors adapted to the use of writing when it finally came about, they adapted to books when they were formed, they managed to understand and create the first communication technology of radio when it arrived, and so on through television, computers, phones and now even tablets.
Back before there was even a written language our ancestors used to record history through those they call 'bards'. The people who had the best memories would be held responsible for the tales of their people’s history and would constantly sing it in songs made up on the spot as a form of entertainment for anyone who wants to listen. (Rieu, 1946). Nowadays, we have history recoded in books and these transcripts are slowly being transferred to online material.
