Media Ecologies - mapped out

The term "Media Ecologies" was first defined by theorist Neil Postman with the help of Marshall McLuhan.  The term describes information flows and relationships as well as how technology impacts on society.  The term is quite complex and some what ambiguous and at first, quite difficult to comprehend.  To try and decipher Media Ecologies, I created a detailed mind map linking all the meanings and examples together:

The mind map helped me to understand the complex and ambiguous nature of the term Media Ecologies with contemporary and relevant examples which relate back to the ARTS3091 course.
