Episode #12 - Permanence vs. Portability in Communication

Hi Jay,
Just listened to my first Media Driving episode #12 and, funny enough, I also had Harold Innis on the brain because of a May 10th Globe & Mail piece (Focus section, pg. F4) by Rick Salutin about his visit to the new, Washington-based news museum, Newseum. The article includes a wonderful timeline of communications milestones called “From Woodblock to Facebook” that goes from 687 AD to the present. Now, I wanted to share the article with you BUT I only had the paper version and when I checked to see if there was an online version I was surprised to see I had to pay for it. And then, when I did pay for it, found out the purchase agreement restricts me from sharing it. The Globe needs to add one itemm to the timeline: “2008 - Globe takes head out of a** and makes content free.”
ps. In response to your comment about photocopiers just emerging in the 30s I checked out the timeline but that wasn’t on there. However, good ole Google did reveal that you were right on: photocopiers were invented by Chester F. Carlson in the late 1930’s.
