Commercial Media and the Economic System |
 |
Within the global economic system commercial media are powerful players. They not only support and complement the needs of nonmedia firms, but also stimulate corporate growth within countries. As they are also the main vehicle for advertising, commercial media moreover facilitate the marketing of products and services.

water-clocks
The water-clocks are an early long-distance-communication-system. Every communicating party had exactly the same jar, with a same-size-hole that was closed and the same amount of water in it. In the jar was a stick with different messages written on. When one party wanted to tell something to the other it made a fire-sign. When the other answered, both of them opened the hole at the same time. And with the help of another fire-sign closed it again at the same time, too. In the end the water covered the stick until the point of the wanted message.
