This book consists of applying known and accepted design concepts to varied new technologies being used in today's society. This text introduces both teacher and student to new technologies and the proper use of technology in the communications process. The chapters cover both the theory and practice of technology as a communication tool. Another important feature of this book is that it explains and models the proper design principles, which are being sorely ignored in the current use of communication technology. Finally, we provide practical instances and supply examples the instructor can use in class to demonstrate the proper and improper use of the technology.
