This post is on the relevance of previous post to our present line of working. If someone asks me what is the need of understanding different mediums now?
What does any one do in the name of work (in any field)?
They try to understand what has been done so far in that field and formulate an idea, predict so&so is a better idea, so&so is better thing to do based on their knowledge.
i would say that this understanding, knowledge, formulation, prediction gets better if longer time period of broader cases is taken into consideration. And hence a little insight into different mediums.
