...Media Convergence Worksheet Write brief 250- to 300-word answers to each of the following: Questions Answers What is meant by the term media convergence with regard to technology, and how has it affected everyday life? Media convergence means that the different kinds of media are becoming one. I believe that even though we have many forms of media it all is still merging into the main form that we us these days: technology. This has made a big effect on our everyday life simply because we now use technology for everything. Most of us no longer go get newspapers and things as such like we use to. Now everything is available for us online or through our smart phones. They even have apps on our smart phones for the online sites that have the information from the newspaper.

We use technology so much more these days; everything is slowly but surely becoming electronic or being able to be done/reached through technology. Traditional media is still here but it is not as effective as it used to be. Technology is the big hit of the century.

...Mass Media Trevor Stanton HUM/186 January 22, 2014 Effects of Mass Media During the last century there were several major developments in the evolution of mass media. These developments are the evolution of the print, electronic, and digital eras which now encompass modern day media. These three eras have significantly affected American culture and economics, while ushering in a new standard of mass communications. While paper printing can be traced back to China as early as 100 c.e, modern printing did not emerge until the mid-fifteenth century. At that time, the printing press was introduced. The printing press was a conglomerate of machine duplication, rapid duplication, and faster production. These three elements were necessary for mass-market innovation. Information and ideas could now be spread faster and farther than ever before. With the evolution of the printing press, production of mass quantities at lower costs per unit became essential in mass production of other goods. This led to the Industrial Revolution, modern capitalism, and the consumer culture of the twentieth century. “With the revolution in industry came the rise of the middle class and an elite business class of owners and managers who acquired the kind of influence formerly held only by the nobility or the clergy. Print media became key tools that commercial and political leaders used to distribute information and maintain social order”. (Campbell, R., Martin, C., & Fabos, B. (2012). Media and culture:...
