Has media technology reached its peak? Surely the question is ‘Has Humanity reached its peak?’ From the beginning of time, Humans have found new ways to entertain ourselves. Whether it was theatre, ritual dances, or just a sing-along, Humans have entertained one another and I doubt we’ve reached the pinnacle of what humans can achieve. Humanity has a long way to go, and so does Media entertainment.
Throughout History, Humans have overcome massive problems. We have eradicated diseases, flown across oceans wider than continents and become the master species on a planet that is determined to eradicate all life. Throughout this, Humanity has found time to invent windows to other worlds. Have gained the ability to take a person to another world by making them sit in front of a screen of dots. In 1930, did they ask themselves these questions? Did they say to themselves that they’d reached their limits? Some did, but others had an idea, a vision and ran with it. They gave us colour recording. They gave us Cinemas in our houses. Human potential is limited by Human imagination.
