communication, media, development, evolution, theories or conceptsAbstract
This article attempts to characterize both the development of communication and media in the context of convergence. The media as we know it today stems from a long period of evolution: from pre-media to a “connected” society. In recent decades, we have observed a marked technological development, as a result of which theories or concepts have been created that try to capture the essence of these changes. It is worth starting these considerations by explaining the basic concept of “communication”.
