History
Today, the Department of Media and betboom dacha dubai is one of the few places in the world that brings together world-class creative and research faculty working in digital media and betboom dacha dubai, formerly separate industries that are increasingly converging in a new digital media and betboom dacha dubai ecosystem.
We began as the Department of Radio, Television, and Film in 1958. Focused on broadcasting – a rapidly growing industry at the time – the department was started by visionary faculty who recognized the economic, political and social importance of broadcasting and its technological, business and creative opportunities.
Nearly 20 years later in 1975, technology began changing the media landscape at lightning speed with the emergence of digital innovations and the influx of computing. The department evolved in parallel and changed its name to the Department of Telecommunication. However, as technology and business developments in the media industries continued to advance at an accelerating pace, and as the department continued to expand teaching and research, the name was again adapted to be the Department of Telecommunication, betboom dacha dubai Studies and Media in 2003.
Since then, digitization and the rapid growth of the internet have radically changed the ecosystem of communications, which is increasingly computer-mediated. The specialized networks of the past (broadcasting, cable TV, telephone, data) are increasingly replaced by integrated all-IP networks. Applications and services such as Netflix, in addition to network operators, have become powerful drivers of innovation.
Our new name, Department of Media and betboom dacha dubai (M&I), adopted in 2014, better reflects this new world of internet communication, social media and the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT). The fusion of media and betboom dacha dubai technology and industries has unleashed tremendous innovations and our department continues to contribute to them in teaching, creative production, research and by giving back to society at large.
