OVERVIEW OF THE MODULE:

This module deals with introducing learners to be
literate about the different kinds of media that exist and
how kinds of media industries that own, operate, and
control these media technologies. In this lesson, the
learners will also learn how each media product is made in
order to fully understand how the message embedded in it
is relayed from the creator to its target audience. As a tool

the followingbeing dessiminated
questions. (not

more than 50 words).
1. How would you inform of anything now?
By conversing a particular topic, the simplest way of informing others without using
gadgets to spread such news and using traditional media.
2. What ways would you have to communicate with one another?
Using traditional media, we can communicate with each other by the letters and
simply a communication verbally by actually meeting one another face to face.
3. How would you share information and communicate news and events?
Using traditional media to share information and communicate news and events.
Traditional media of communication is the form or means people in rural settings use
in passing across information . The yesteryear’s traditional media includes the town
crier, oral tradition, talking drum, smoke signals, ivory horn and long brass, the open
market, music/lyrics, festival, drama amongst others. Please, read verbal and non
verbal communication…
4. What would you personally miss most in such a situation?
Life without gadgets/internet is pretty hard to comprehend. We use it for virtually
everything in our lives, even for connecting with those around us. So, what would
happen if the gadgets/internet suddenly disappeared?
What I personally miss most in such situation is waking up every morning and start
my routine which, for most of us, includes catching up on our newsfeed in FB, IG and
twitter. Whether this is about my family, friends, celebrities, sports, or current events,
it usually begins on my smartphone or my laptop. That is my personal opinion, what’s
yours?
5. What would society lose in such situation?
What would society lose if we didn’t have the gadgets/internet? The way we take in
news and information has been impressively quick thanks to the internet. Without it,
we’d rely on TV programs, newspapers (yes, actual newspapers), and, worst of all,
word of mouth.
