Week 1 - Response To Content

What are the main issues in new communications technology?
I believe that the main issues are concerned with the privacy and security of these technologies, and health. These three issues, mainly, because they deal directly with the safety and well-being of the general inter-web populous.

How do we distinguish between old and new communication technologies?
Old communication technologies are categorised as analogue technologies, where the technology utilises the process of taking an audio or video signal and translating it into electronic pulses.

Whereas new communication technologies are classified as digital technologies that breaks your voice signal into binary code ... transfers it to the other end where another device takes all the numbers and reassembles them into the original signal.

Under what circumstances will new communication technologies become old communication technologies?
Under the circumstance of Moore's Law, where
the number of transistors on a chip roughly double every two years, and with the contantly increasing rate of the evolution of new communication technologies; eventually technologies will evolve far enough to make our current perceptions of new technologies look like old technologies.
