Doesn’t
it seem convenient? Checking your smartphone and being able to instantly become
connected with the world through facebook, facebook messenger, texting etc.
Nowadays, we are able to discover new things in ways which we’ve never
imagined. As we’ve covered in class, some huge benefits handed to us by
Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) include: making us available at
practically any point in the day to people across the globe, revolutionizing
collaboration and rendering distance and time obsolete. Very little actual
movement is required for us to reach out and make friends who we may not
actually meet that often in person.
While
I was made aware of multimedia before, I began being exposed to it on a regular
basis when my parents got me a laptop and iPhone. As time went on, I felt as
though I could identify with almost anything that people were talking about
with their friends. It was also during this time when I came to the realization
that multimedia communication is actually unavoidable, especially with the way
professors (such as we do during class) now like to deliver their lectures. It
felt like an instant dose of adrenaline. Whenever my days seem too long and
gloomy, I can sit down anywhere, pull my iPhone out, and google a bundle of
stuff which will almost certainly get my mind off of what is actually going on.
This can be very useful in trying to cope during tough times.
Our
smartphones are only continuing to become more advanced each year, with new
added features which render other devices effectively obsolete. I use my phone
to coordinate pretty much every single meeting that I have now, whether it is
important or not. Multimedia communication is inevitable. Pretty much wherever
we go, it will follow us. It is rapidly becoming almost like a necessity and
will likely remain that way for future generations.
