Thomas Tijdink

Graduate Student

I was born in 1984 in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. After finishing high school I went to the SAE (School of Audio Engineering) Institute in Amsterdam where I took a course in audio engineering. I graduated in 2005 and went on to find work.

I was unable to find a job in the audio business and started working elsewhere. However, since SAE is a private school and does not count as an official college degree, I soon found out it was quite hard to find a decent job and I wanted to go to school again. After looking in to some school for fine arts, I found out about Digital Communication and thought it would be a very nice completion to my media knowledge and skills.

At this moment, I am a graduate student working on the History of the Future project in which I am researching whether or not science fiction has had influence on modern day technologies. In this studies I am focusing mainly on communication over distance mediated by visual aids.
