Understanding information in the context of Media ecology

Understanding information in the context of Media ecology

The field of media ecology has variable components as described in the article. The article also mentions that information has always been used without proper understanding of the concept. I like the way the writer begins this article. There is a precise sense of direction, and the introductory paragraph prepares the reader about what is to come. The article also focuses on many aspects that attempt to explain information. All these are well arranged into subtopics, with the first one trying to provide a clear explanation of information after a detailed introduction has been given.

An in-depth relation of the correlation between information, electricity and technology is presented right from the abstract and is developed as the article progresses. I admire the way the author conveys the content of his article interesting comparisons, such as that the origin of man. The author says that just as humans are said to have originated in Africa and spread all over the world, it is the same way information spreads. Aspects of this spread, such as speed and what facilitates it, are discussed within their own subtopics; being clearly explained so both an average reader and a college student can easily conceptualize and understand the idea.

Finally, I like how the author managed to focused on the topic of media ecology and connect it to everything else. There are no instances when the author has gone away from the topic or made it too vague. This is a well-developed article that I would recommend to anyone in the field of media.
