Assignment #3 - eRevolution

When publishing changes, so does society. And nothing changed society more profoundly than the printing press. The invention of the printing press created a media revolution in the 1400’s. The technology behind moveable type led to mass production of books throughout Europe. It has only been until very recently that publishing has drastically changed and again society is changing with it.

This sound documentary will examine the impact of digital media and digital publishing on government agencies today and the effect it has on our country’s citizens.

For this sound piece I used Camtasia Studio to record the Internet sound clips included in this recording. I used the memo audio recording feature on my iphone to record my voice and I put all the audio clips together using Audacity.

The printer sound effect and the music at the conclusion of this sound file were taken from the Nova Scotia Queen's Printer Web site.
