Honestly I have to say that mass communication is pretty cool, considering all that goes into it. With the many forms then how you have to comprehend the infromation being spread with the process of communicating.
First having to think of something to share, in the stimulus stage. Next encoding so your audience can understand. Then sending the message out into the world in many different ways that is technologically imputable as the transmission phase. Then decoding it to understand the message and finally, internalization when you don't memorize what you read but you understand it enough so that you can remember the purpose of it in the first place.
This was very interesting to me because you know everything has a catch. With these steps to mass communication there are filters and impediments to disrupt the process. Internal filters such as physical disabilities, informational things like a language it's in, and physiological things that go along with personal beliefs/attitudes. Then there are the external impediments, which can include environmental noise, channel noise, and semantic noise.
It's amazing how complicated it can be to get a message across to people all over the world through time and space. Seems to be more work than wanted by far. But after that the forms you can put your message in are almost endless.
Even though the lecture was kind of boring, once you think about it the options are endless of what can happen. It's really cool.
