The Advent Of Modern Communication Gadgets: Implications For Nigerian Journalism

Abstract

The arrival of ultramodern communication contrivance – recrimination for Nigerian Journalism. The snippet of this study took a pictorial look at the coming of communication contrivance, more important than the ancient bones to take care of acceptable communication outreach to the whole world.

It treats in race the preface of communication among the earlymen, the need for and the preface of ancient communication widgets, gradational immovations of the old and the invention of better comuniation widgets and the proliferation of the widgets into what’s moment know as the global vill of communication.

Five chapters were used to achieve our palm on this content.

Chapter one introduce the content in forms of background to the study, significance of the study, objects, delineations of terms and references.

Chapter two- deals with review of affiliated literatures and commentary.

Chapter three – in negotiating this task, we espoused the literal methodology in our exploration using investigative approach.

Chapter four- analysis of the data collected in chapter three.

Chapter five- we made conclusions and recommendations grounded on the content we’ve studied.

It’s our belief that this exploration is an fresh material or knowledge in this area of mortal bid.

Chapter One

Preface

Background Of The Study

communication is so central to mortal actuality and all mortal conditioning that it would be fool hardy for any group or nation to put it in the background in its profitable, political, social and other conditioning infact, we’re bold to say that communication is the most ustal factor in erecting an orgnised, unsted and progressive nation; the without it, there will be no public reality and no effective result to public problems and public development. All these can be confidently said because of the egregious fact that all mortal conditioning take place incross-five of information inflow and communication, whether ininter-personal, group, original, state public or transnational position.

Man was created to be gregarious and because of these rates, they’ve always had to fall back on one another in commerce honored as mortal communication.

This refers to the process of transmitting communication, idea and stations and creating meanings between two and further people generally through the natural installations of the mortal voices, sensitive organ, s facial expressions, body manipulations and recently machine- supported channels or bias. Indeed now, the import and significance of communication in our ultramodern and sophisticated society can not be over emphasized.

The awarness for these necessifies introduced mass communication into the world. It’s a process by which a complex association with the aid of one or further machine produce and transmit communication directed at large, nitrogenous, diversified and haphazard followership. It’s also the act of communicating to mass followership through the use of mass media similar as books, journals, magarines, flicks, radio, TV and computers to mention but freights, that the field of journalisma in Nigeria have used as a medium to get information across the followership. Communication had been in actuality all the while but it was noway a kind of mass involvement because the world them demanded advanced accoutrements or widgets that could carry these dispatches and information to numerous people at the same time( mass effect). The great discaceroes and inmouations of communication widgets from early 30’s to date has changed communication from primitive kind to ultramodern( mass) kind.

Mass communication widgets is as old as mass communication itself because the nation of getting people involved in communication in mass would have remained in the background if the widgets weren’t ultramodern diced or advanced technological. Mass communication started with Johannes Gutenberg invention of the printing press.

This invention led to prolofication of the print accoutrements similar as books, journals and magazines, through these media further people were reached as it concerns communication. The electronics media communication came on the scene with the invention of similar widgets as radio and TV.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Due to the precious and irretrievable use of the mass media and communication bias in all departments of life, one can not over emphasis the significance of this study. Being a kind of literal study, it would lead to the integrated history or description of once ovents or data concerning all technological bias fashioned to prop communication.

This study is a donation to formerly being work on the course( arrival of ultramodern communication widgets, and its counteraccusations for Nigerian Journalism. Every experimenter who’s likely to embark on any kind of exploration on this course would find this study veritably useful. This study would also be useful to communication scholars – it would explain adequately the arrival growth and modernization of communication widgets.

Generally the study can be assimilated by all suckers of history with scientific mind of discovery and understanding situations, cases and counteraccusations . At the end of this study; the background growth and variations of the ultramodern communication widgets would be precisely treated.

Objects Of The Study

The once findings on this issue by colorful groups have given us lesser misprisions and has called to challenge our curious minds. We’ve thus taken up the challenge to partake in the glory contributing towards flocking further light on the arrival of ultramodern communication widgets with the following objects.

1. To gain a clear understanding and accurate accounts of the history as it concern communication widgets.

2. To gain clearer perspective of the present as it concern communication widgets.

3. To be suitable to give acceptable companism between the assist mean of communication( widgets) and the ultramodern bones .

4. The recrimination of ultramodern communication widgets for Nigerian journalism.
