toot-too-too-too-toot

• Who would’ve thought that a simple toot-too-too-too-toot would inspire the creation and the development of communication technologies and gadgets that becomes obsolete in only a matter of days?
  
• I never thought that smoke signals was the precursor of telegraphy (or sending messages from one place to another without physical contact).
  
• I thought that as a communication arts student, it is enough that I know how to organize my thoughts well and be able to express them, that I know how to craft my ideas and messages effectively using any medium. Sine waves, FM and AM, circuits, megahertz are all jargon to me. But I didn’t realize the importance of knowing the technicalities of such communication technologies and how it may affect the messages that I want to convey until the discussion last week. I will be tinkering and handling such gadgets especially if I get to work for a TV network or radio station and it’s best if I’m equipped with the knowledge on how stuff works (at least the basic) than risk being hoodwinked and being called dumb. Hehe..
