Communicatheo

Lo que publica durante una semana el periódico New York Times contiene más información de la que una persona viviendo en el Siglo 18 vería durante … ¡toda su vida! Las Generaciones Y y Z* consideran al Internet como una tecnología ya obsoleta. Por esa razón, en 2009 el Colegio de Boston dejó de distribuir direcciones de correo electrónico entre sus alumnos de nuevo ingreso. Vivimos en tiempos acelerados. La velocidad es el signo de los tiempos (por ello conjeturar razonadamente sobre los futuros se vuelve cada vez más imprescindible). Los cambios suceden cada vez más de prisa. Ello es particularmente notorio en el mundo de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones. Si...

No sé si Apple tiene un “haplotipo” diferente de empresa o es un buen ejemplo de cómo ganar y surfear en plena crisis financiera. De la redacción de la compañía tomamos una frase de la presentación de los resultados del tercer trimestre fiscal: "Estamos haciendo nuestros productos más innovadores que nunca y nuestros clientes están respondiendo", dijo Steve Jobs. El tema a discurrir es si la crisis afecta a todo el mercado o hay quienes a nivel país, corporativo o pequeñas empresas estén leyendo bien los cambios sistémicos y tienen una evolución casi darwiniana de adaptación sin ir a los brazos del Estado. Pronto tendremos nuevos resultados de Apple y podremos ver si las cifras...

Extracted from different sources and current news by Inti Acevedo on LaInformación.com Electronic Books:  a simple marketing game or a cultural pattern change Increasingly and very often one might find involved in a discussion on the subsistence of the publishing industry or in other words of the book, and might listen to older generations talk about the smell and unique sensation of the texture of the different varieties of paper. One might also be able to listen how the youngsters demonstrate the aliveness of the book when one sees the current successes such the sequence of Harry Potter. Personally, the book will eventually take the natural transition toward its death with...

We seek that Communicatheo can be seen as a continuous will to contribute to the field of communications, especially in communicology. Perhaps, from our point of view, this is the most ancient and concrete social science, and this point of discussion must be opened. Since it is an intention too wide, by now, we only want to study communicology in the area of what is strategic. We hope that this website will become gradually a meeting and exchanging site of professors, researchers and selective actors of this discipline that participate in the global market and in politics, with different points of view and quite dispersion. We only want that, little by little, the contribution of different...
