Time magazine is a great display of how multimedia and advertising has taken over writing. Just on the main page alone you'll find videos and podcasts, which are completely different from Time Magazine's old periodicals. In addition articles are rated and views can be counted giving readers instantaneous information about the popularity of an article, which wouldn't be feasible with a printed magazine. In addition, there are also polls, apps, facebook pages, and RSS feeds displaying the degree in which technology has become a part of Time's product. Time is a perfect example of how new technology can be implemented to improve a user base.\n\nI think this site relates to our course work because it is such a fine example of how multimedia can be used in almost any situation.

My parents use to tell me all the time how technology use to be back in their days. I always thought how hard it would have been to survive in their days without the internet, a computer, cellphone, a color tv, and numerous other things. This article lays out some ideas that the author thinks we will be telling our grankids in the future. When we are explaining how life use to be in our days, we might say how we use to only need 140 characters on a text message or twitter post.
