How did the transportation revolution affect migration patterns in the United States?

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

A chain of paths, waterways, and railways was built.

Explanation:

The National Road that was built for moving faster. Paths were costly to develop and sustain, so people appeared up with the plan to construct canals. Stream travel has several benefits over carriage and horse driving, remarkable examples were that the trip was a lot quieter, and explorers could store their goods on barfs if they were traveling downstream. The Erie Canal, onward with other canals, executed it a lot inexpensive to carry goods. At first, engines were towed by horses until the first steam-powered engine began running. The opening of railroads supported for grain livestock, and farm goods to flow straight from the Midwest to East. The railroads further created the four time zones, because of the required time affinity for areas in railroad moving.

What important natural resource did the Songhai Empire control?

sineoko [7]

The Songhai Empire controlled the production and supply of Salt. This was a very important commodity which was known as white gold at the time.

At its peak the Songhai Empire was the largest and richest Empire in Africa and one of the most powerful in all of the Muslim world.

The cities of Timbuktu and Djenné became importing trading centers and remained one of the most important cities in Africa until the empire's demise.

Apart from salt, the empire grew rich due to its control over vast supplies of Gold, slaves, kola nuts, leather, and dates.

Eventually, the huge riches of the Empire attracted attention from other leaders of the region. In the last 20 years, the kings of Songhai were in constant feud with multinational armies which took a political and economic toll on the Empire.

Answer:

Study of Communication History Criticism (Kovarik)- Relatively new but histories of the press appear far back as 1683. Critical perspectives of printing business appeared in 20th century inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's denunciation muckraking in 1906, and Walter Lippmann's "Public Opinion" in 1920. Even in early 21st century media students saw media historians lagging behind social issues and digital revolution. It has been nationalistic and parochial and needs more breadth and integration.

Harold Innis- (1894-1952) economic historian who said Western Civilization has been influenced by communication technologies. Civilizations using durable media oriented towards time and religious orthodoxy (Babylon) while others with flexible media (Rome, Greece, modern) were oriented towards control f space and a secular approach to life.

Marshall McLuhan- (1911-1980) Jesuit priest and media scholar who became popular with an aphoristic writing style ("the medium is the message") and was influenced by Innis. Believed tech would move us into a "global village." Believed media were extensions/amputations of ourselves and later influenced Walter Ong. Tended towards technological determinism.

Technological Determinism- Technology is path-dependent, with inevitable changes and consequently predicable impacts on culture.

Social Constructionists- See a stronger influence for economics, politics, and culture that control technological development.

Luddites- 1811 when thousands of British textile workers lost their jobs following the introduction of steam powered machinery. Mobs of starving worked broke into the factory and busted the textile machinery and blamed it on a mythical figure named Ned Ludd. They only intended to break the machines but people were also killed/hurt.

Technological Fallacies- Predictions about technology that don't come true

Hot and Cool Media- A term coined by McLuhan in Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964). While very subjective the idea is that media that are "cool" require participation from an audience/user while those that are "hot" invite easy participation endless conscious immersion.

McLuhan's Tetrad- New communication technologies crate four effects: (1) The new media enhances something (2) New media makes something obsolete (3) New media retires something that had nearly been forgotten from an earlier time (4) The new media reverse or flip into something different.

Classifying Media Services- A four section grid with reception time and place on the left side (broken into individual and central control) and on the top source of information (broken into central and individual). From top left to right top-down programs (traditional mass media) and virtual market (eBay, etc) and at the bottom left rich content and social media.

Oral Culture- Humans are born with a natural capacity for xmix language with thousands of words. People in oral culture think in practical concrete ways rather than abstract or linear ways. Decision by consensus, and modern board room or modern jury retain elements of oral culture. Ong observes mnemonic memory using aphorisms, tendency toward high descriptive speech, and constant communal communication.
