Internet Memes.

Internet Memes have become extremly popular among young adults. These are characters that depict emotions, feelings or ideas. They usually will have a quote or a saying. Many times they are set up in a comic strip fashion. These memes have become super popular and are all over the internet. Faces include the Me Gusta face, poker face, and cereal guy.

Twitter

Twitter is a very unique, and upcoming website. Users can post whatever they want, as long as it is 160 characters or less. You can "hash tag" items by putting the pound sign in front. This website has been around for a few years but has just recenlty taken off. Today, it is all over the media. While watching television shows, a little blurb will pop up with a hash tag. You can comment to this hashtag to portray your opinions and also see what other people have to say. This website gives users the power of feedback, making it unique, in-style, and powerful.

Facebook

Facebook. Addicting, fun, interesting,..... POWERFUL! Facebook is probably the most popular website in the world. Everyone knows at least 10 people who have a Facebook. It connects the world and allowes you to keep in contact with people who, without Facebook, you would probably not see again. Facebook is so powerful it dropped the connectedness factor from 6 people to 3 people (this is the idea that everyone is connected through everyone else by going through 6 (or now 3) other poeple.) It is the biggest thing in our media today.

Internet

The Internet is probably the most well known invention in the history of the world. I don't think it would be even possibly to find someone who has never heard of it. It is the device that connects us through the world. The internet isn't even an object. It's basically a thundercloud, information being zapped all over the world through lightning. In a split second you could be talking to your cousin in Australia or reading about the politics of Russia. Society is so dependent on the internet, our world would have a meltdown if it were to ever be shut off. It acts as the biggest plug for any sense of media.

Personal Computer

The personal computer is arguably the most important invention of our time, both technologically and in the sense of the media. It combines the aspects of all the most important inventions up to date (Radio, Print, Film, and Television). It is a gateway to the internet, the most important invention of the media. Through our computer, with the help of the internet, we are virtually connected to the entire world. Information, entertainment, and society is connected through the click of a button. Without the invention of the computer, the television would still be the most important invention.

Television

The Television, as we know it, has been available to the public since 1920. It was a huge step forward for society in the portrayal of information and entertainment. Moving pictures, programs, stories, and news were made easily available to the common family. It's ability to send pictures and sound through the airways combined the ideas of the Radio and of Film. It was a highlight or our technological and media advancment. It is also one of the 5 big inventions.

Film

Film is one of the 5 most important inventions when talking about the radio. Film gave us the ability to record and show live moving pictures. Film was first created by taking multiple pictures, one after another, and then showing those pictures extremly fast. It started out kind of as a high tech flip book. People would pay to see short, 30 second clips, of these moving images. It was a marvel. Today, Film is still a huge part of our media and society. Movie theaters are still one of the highest grossing buisnesses today. Without the creation of film, we would be lacking on a lot of our technology.
