The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday launched the exhibition titled “Form the First Writings to Multimedia. A Short History of the Progress of Communication — and More.” The European first of the exhibition is the fact that it will be visited, in its virtual form, by means of the mobile phone and the new computer programmes. “The introduction of the new technologies makes people fear that novelty will destroy tradition …From all these collective fears one can infer that a new support rather stimulates, refines, diversifies our forms of communicating and keeping our collective memory in place and I think that the exhibition we are opening is a good example in this respect,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodor Baconschi, who attended the above-mentioned event.
He said that, in this formula, one can culturally export, in the virtual environment, Romania’s almost entire patrimony, considering the fact that many goals and elements of the national patrimony, some of them selected by the UNESCO, are very little known abroad.
