Assignment 2

Anchor 1
Taking this course

I observed that the vast majority of people were taking this course to understand the how and why regarding the impact of new media upon us as a society. In addition, others even said that they enjoy the diversity the class offers in their curriculum when compared to the other technically intensive classes.

Similar
Interests

Here are some similar interests I observed shared between many members of the class:

  • Audio:​​

    • Spotify seemed to dominate the platforms that my classmates use to listen to music and podcasts on a frequent basis​

  • Video​

    • Netflix and YouTube were large staples amongst the class for entertainment visual media.

  • Social Media​

    • Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter were all very popular social media platforms.​

  • Text-Based Entertainment​

    • Reddit seems to be one of the few digital text entertainment platforms that is popular amongst many users. Unlike video platforms or audio streaming services, Reddit seems to be in a realm of its own when it comes to usage exclusivity compared to similar platforms.

  • Video Games​

    • Video games seemed to be a staple amongst many of the class members, with games such as League of Legends and Super Smash being very popular.

  • Non-digital media​

    • Books seemed to be one of the few non-digital mediums still used today. Newspapers, and other physical mediums, are almost nonexistent when compared to their digital counterparts.​
