The big question I ask myself heading into the media industry is: ‘Will I be able to stay up to date with the industry?’.
Reading predictions from engineers and scientists written in the 1940s and 1980s about technologies we now have today gets me thinking where is technology heading? We seem to learn a lot about the history of communications and technologies but so far not so much about the future. I’m not sure if that’s something that is covered in this course but what I do know is how important it is to stay current. I would say heading into any profession, university isn’t the end of the learning road, especially when working in media. So, how do you stay current? Well, I guess this is where network media and being network literate comes in.
