As far as the communication history of mankind is concerned, the evolution of information communication mode presents such a vein: visual culture, auditory culture (intuitive feeling, "spirit of seeing")-conceptual culture ("spirit of reading")-new audio-visual culture ("new spirit of seeing").

The role of information transmission

Information plays an important role in people's social life. Information is the information and news transmitted by all human survival activities and natural existence. The accumulation and dissemination of information is the basis of the progress of human civilization.

The three foundations for the survival and development of human society are material, energy and information. The world is made of matter, energy is the motive force of all material movements, and information is the evidence for human beings to understand nature and human society.

For example, scientific research should not only obtain other people's research results in time, but also publish and tell others their own research results in time. Only by exchanging information with each other can we continue to develop.

When doing business, we should know the market information in time so as to determine what goods to buy, what goods to buy, what goods to sell and what goods to sell; In daily life, we should get timely information about weather, commodities, cultural and sports activities, work and life of relatives and friends.

Only by constantly exchanging information between people can production, life and other activities be carried out normally, and daily life can not be separated from information for a moment.
