The transmission of information via any number of means, including but not limited to: speech, mail, print, telephone, television, Internet. The technique of using words and pictures to impart information and ideas.
From
cave drawings to computers and everything in be-tween, mankind has
communicated ideas and information over some medium. Over the
millennia, with every advance in technology, however small, our methods
of communication advanced. In
ages past,
our communication with others
was very localized. It was limited to our community. As man conquered
land, sea and air, communication with the outside world spread. With
each advance, our world became a little smaller.
At
the end of
the 20th century, a technology spawning a whole new realm of
communication was developed - the World Wide Web. The Internet shrunk
our world in an unprecedented way. It changed our commerce, our
understanding, our lingo. It permeated every facet of our lives. People
from every corner of the globe could buy, be informed and entertained
in real time.
This
web site
is about communication - words and pictures. Rather than caves and
couriers, our present world relies on the print
medium -
brochures,
newsletters and flyers. Instead of smoke signals
and drum
beats, we broadcast our message electronically including the
Internet.
But, as in the past, we still employ pictures
and graphics to spread
our message.
