Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce the historical aspects of communication media which relate to the modern phenomena of hyperconnectivity. Hyperconnectivity is a result of many interlinking historical developments in media, engineering, and computer science. We discuss the means and needs of communication among humans in the modern era. We then describe in detail the applications, potential effects on society of hyperconnectivity. Finally, we project into the future of our hyperconnected world.
