Multimedia is taking over
So I was watching CNN and it was showing a video that was posted on YouTube and that was a strange feeling. Multimedia is everywhere, isn't it? I mean, YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace, blogs, video news. It's crazy. And it seems to have happened so fast.
Those of us over 35 reminisce about the days when we actually had to look for a pay phone. Or carry around one of those HUGE mobile phones. I remember how heavy that battery bag was to lug around. Imagine all of the new ways to communicate since those days!
So now you can log onto a radio station's web site and watch videos and see pictures from an event. You can log onto a tv station's web site and watch the latest news on a video. A newspaper's site has video, audio, slide shows AND a nicely written story.
Is all of this too much? Sometimes...
