Post #1: Why am I taking RTF 305?


Besides the fact that RTF305 is required to take further classes in the RTF field, I actually do have a few reasons why I want to take this class. I'm currently on the fence about what to major in (deciding between RTF or Design) and I'm hoping this class can help me make a decision. Just from the first lecture and reading the first chapter in the book I can already tell that it's not only going to be a very interesting course, but also an important one in understanding the communication of the future. Different forms of media are constantly surrounding us at almost every point in a given day, so understanding how they work together and where the future of media is headed seems important regardless of what major a person is in or what they plan on doing for a career. I'm hoping to learn how various forms of media effect our everyday lives and how the future of media is going to affect the way we handle business, education, and communication in society.
