perspective…

listen. read. look. feel.

It is all about perspective. Example: You and I are backpacking through the wilderness, and we come upon an expansive aspen grove. Gazing upon this grandeur you may focus on the beautiful green tapestry, I may focus on the stark pale bark, and our heavy set friend who couldn’t keep up and is resting on a log a mile away may look up and see it as a single organism of aspen, clawing its way to the pinnacle. And that is just our visual response, not taking into account our unique and acute sense of smell, the sounds (or lack of sounds) around us, and the other visceral senses that tie in our emotional response to an image… those being taste, smell or touch.

Communication Evolution

In life we are at a convergence of crisis, in the church, in politics, in the environment and in our relationships. It is in this upheaval that we must remind ourselves the different perspectives that are influencing our particular reaction to the world. In the next couple of days(weeks) I am going to be going through some of the unique differences that give us so many different perspectives… Categorizing these posts as POV or (point of view), I will be looking at the four historical transitions in human communication evolution, helping to frame your point of reference when looking at the convergence of the past, the future and today. Communication Evolution is: Oral, Print, Broadcast, and Digital. Cool.
