Jo Caudron , entrepreneur with a great passion for technology and media developments, takes us into the past, present and future of media. The first acquaintance with the title is a bit confusing. What can you expect as a reader? It soon becomes clear that the book takes you along in the entire process of changes and developments in the world of media.
The book starts off well on page 13, where it is explained that the book is interactive. As a reader, you can download an app on the Media Morgen website . QR codes are listed throughout the book, which you can scan with your smartphone. A nice extra and fitting with the book!
