Internet

The Internet is one of the biggest media technologies. Without the internet, email, social media, and the new fancy televisions would all be extinct. The internet allows all other media forms to travel and spread around the world. Communication has been transformed because of the internet. The internet is the biggest platform for communications. Through the internet, you can communicate using various forms of media communication. One media form is video communication which can be seen on many websites. News affiliates use the internet to show video of the information that they want to put out. For instance, CNN shows many different videos of their top stories and more. There are also videos on websites such as YouTube that show not only news, but also entertainment information.

The internet also has written forms of communication. Those same news affiliates that have video communication content also have their news stories accessible through the internet in written form. There are also written blogs, which allow the writer to create a page on the internet to share various types of information and tailor it to the audience of their choosing. Because blogging has become so popular, many people turn to blogs for information on just about anything. Some blogs can be deemed as a credible source of information because of how long they've been around. Many companies use blogs to promote their products in a more casual manor. The internet houses visual media as well. Pictures of pretty much anything can be found online. “It is difficult to state how much information exists on the Internet. New information is constantly uploaded or added to the Internet” (Hanson, n.d.).
