Four different media technologies

1. Word Processors/Print Media
Word processors allow a person to take their thoughts from a dream and place them on paper in order to make them a reality. Without word processors then all print media would take much longer to reproduce books, lecture notes, or anything that requires a computer rather than a typewriter.Print Media is geared towards advertising and handouts at events or functions geared towards the event. Word processors allow for mass production in regards to print media and delivery a printed message. It also helps organize the thoughts of those who brainstorm due to the accessibility of writing, editing, and getting information reproduced at a faster rate than any other print media tool.

2.Visual Aids
Visual Aids allow an audience to follow a writer’s frame of mind with limited guidance. Visual aids help increase the overall message due to our brains believing more of what is seen rather than trying to remember what was heard. Visual aids help haptic audiences that need a map or need a hands on assistance in order to fully comprehend a message. Visual aids are also geared towards older generations which helps guide their attention.


3. Social Networks
Social networks are the new an upcoming ways to incorporate mass amounts of awareness due to the availability of going viral. This is like a newspaper that is updated with live comments from live sources rather than water downed news or media information from the 500 pound gorillas that try and dominate social thoughts.

4. Radio Exerts.
Radio exerts are geared towards people who commute to work, car pool to school, or someone who spends a tremendous amount of time traveling with a vehicle. Due to the technology boom it is safe to say that most Americans have 2 to 3 radios at home. Another reason why radio is a great way to attract audiences is due the fact that it is portable which unlike television is not. The only media technology that is better is the internet because it is interactive.
