Semiotics in CyberspaceWe are see wizard of the near historic all(prenominal)y meaningful changes in the way we share information. Electronic communication devices have been with us since the beginning of the 20th century. Radio provided ways to share sounds with distant the great unwashed simultaneously. The teleph integrity added the ability to inter-communicate with others. Cinematography captured images and created the illusion of motion. Television added the ability to light sounds and moving images to masses of distant people simultaneously.Computers started out being come crunching machines. However, as time passed these machines were interconnected and they started to provide yet another culture medium to hold open information. First it was only text, then some low dissolver graphics and images with limited amount of colors were added. In only a few decades of computer technology development we are already seeing systems that can allow all possible combinations of e lectronic media. Presently, computers can deliver text (and other machine codes), sounds, graphics, still images and video (another name for tv set images). You can have all of those varieties of media stored in magnetic and optical devices for archiving or to be used as alternative delivery systems. Also, it is possible to deliver all kinds of computer data and electronic media through your telephone or local area electronic network.Radio and television were initially open on the use of magnetic radio waves to deliver messages. These two special media dramatically extended their reach when cable and beam technologies emerged. Cable and satellite technologies have been in fact responsible for the development of the concept of globose information networks.Computers have also played a role in the development of information networks using cable and satellite technologies. The Internet is one of those global information networks. Through this network, computers are currently sendi ng all kinds of electronic media formats to other computers around the earth. These computers are interconnected to a network that does not have a beginning or an end. Connections can overtake in any direction at any time. Trying to frame of reference a map of computer locations and possible interconnections among them will only develop something that looks more like a web. Hence the name of one of the most impressive information sharing environments of our days The valet Wide Web.The World Wide Web (WWW) provides the ability to combine all kinds of electronic media into one interactive presentation that can be delivered anywhere around the world instantaneously.
