Ideas in Motion.(Brief Article)
People can be brought together without actually being moved from one place to another. How? Through the sharing of ideas and images. Technologies that help move ideas can be simple--pen and some paper, for example. Or they can be complex, like the newest high-speed computers.
Mass communication--the ability to send a message to many people at once--started slowly, with the newspaper. Today, satellites can beam images and words around the world in a split second.
How have communications changed in just the 20th century?
The photo at left and the photo on page 28 show the change in communications--from daily newspapers in the early part of the century to TV news in the 1990s. Below are two paragraphs that describe two different earthquakes in San Francisco, California-one in 1906, the other in 1989. Read the paragraphs, then answer the questions.
