News/Iphone
As I was brainstorming more alternative sources of news, I thought of something that was right in front of my face, and that is my iphone. On my iphone, I have downloaded applications that allow me to get notifications from news sources as text messages so I am able to keep up to date with the news. Then, that made me think of the DU account. I cannot remember the name, but i'm sure we all get those text messages of news on campus like when school is cancelled or something has happened. This again is another source of alternative news the school uses to get important things out to the students. All of this shows the convergence of media, that I am able to get alerts through text messages from news websites about important updates in the world.

this also just shows the possibilities for the future of technology are endless. People are greedy and we are going to always strive for the next best thing, especially technology-wise
ReplyDeleteyah i really like applications on the iphone. mainly because you can get all sort of different news sources on it. one of mine is the BBC because i like getting a broad range of information
