My first example of a medium in today's society is definitely cell phones. There are so many ways that cell phones can be used to communicate with others, and be used as a medium. Cell phones allow you to connect with others through phone calls, text messaging, and picture/video sending. This is a huge difference from just 10 years ago. In the past two years, however, cellphones have become "smart phones" where you can basically do anything from search the web, download apps, pay credit card builds, and receive email. The possibilities are endless and continue to grow each time new cell phones come out. Examples of these smart phones are the iPhone 4, which now has face time, where you can see the person you are speaking with while talking, and the android from Motorola.
My second example is the iPad. The ipad is similar to a lab top, because it is transportable, and has wifi connection. You can email, download apps, use mp3, search the web; the possibilities are endless. there are over 300,000 applications that are available on the ipad. It is all touch screen, and perfect for business people, students, and just about anyone. It makes it so easy to connect with anyone across the globe. This is a huge innovative medium in technology, and Motorola is coming out with a similar product soon.
Another medium in today's society is Face book. This site has over more users than people living in the united states. They are a global social networking site that makes it so easy to connect and find out information about these 500 million people across the globe. It is also now allowing businesses to get involved, and place their ads on your face book, base on your information sections, interests and hobbies. Its amazing what face book is evolving to.
