CONNECTING THE WORLD
John Michael Rodriguez
Back then, when people didn’t have people didn’t have TV to watch or video games to play, the first source of media started even before the U.S. became a country and was still thirteen colonies they most likely had one of the first inventions of media. One of the oldest inventions of media was the telescope. This gave people new possibilities to know that there wasn’t just an earth, but there were stars and they became popular so people can see things they haven’t seen before. Another old example of media was the printing press, which they used for printing stories and newspapers instead of writing them. This changed the way people made and wrote stories. The camera gave people the ability to show people the world without taking 5 days to paint a portrait; they would just be able to snap a picture that took about 20 min. After many years our modern day technology took over, like many of these examples. The phone was a new way to communicate; even though they weren’t smart phones they were still something very popular during that time. Another great example of media is video games, because they brought more entertainment to kids, but the only downfall was that they had bad graphics. But the technology from today has made video games super realistic. One of the most well known manufacturers is Microsoft and Sony because they make PlayStation and Xbox, which are very famous because they are one of the most famous and most used consoles in the world. Another couple famous media companies are Apple and Samsung, which make TV’s and cell phones. But one of the greatest forms of media is the Internet because about more than about 75% of the world uses.

The purpose of media is to half entertain and inform because video games are entertainment and the Internet is to mostly inform but it does have entertaining websites like YouTube and gaming websites like slither.io. It relates to culture with many many things like aesthetic values because the Internet has allot of websites that sells things that people might need, like EBay. And there are other pieces of culture like technology, because media today mostly consists of electronics and cars and stuff like that. But there are also the majors like food where you could go to Albertsons.com and order food or dominos.com.
Media is a beautiful thing, and if we keep on going with this we can reach great things. |
