Tell me Becky, what is the flaming difference!?

Ok, so the ipod was introduced to us, the audience, a few years ago.
As per normal with a NMT everyone went crazy for it and starting acting like apes!
But it has many different version.
  • Ipod Nano
  • Ipod Mini
  • Ipod Shuffle
  • Ipod Touch
  • Ipod Classic
  • Ipod Video
"What is the difference!?" I hear you cry. To be honest, most of them have the same features and just look the same. For example the Ipod Classic, Mini and Nano all have the same features like playing music, storing photos, playing games and some more. They simply have improved in image over the years to please the audience. The Ipod shuffle is the less popular of the Ipod range, it doesn't have a screen and the audience can't choose what song they want to listen to. The video Ipod is one of the most expensive as it had one extra feature of being able to download podcasts and play videos on it. The Ipod Touch is the newest to the range, where the only button is the 'power' button. The institution have made some improvements to tempt the audience into thinking it is much better than their old Ipod. Therefore making more money from us fools.

Do we really need all those features though?
The media seems to think we do.
Oh woe is me, now i have a headache from thinking too much.
I leave you with this. The person in green is you. The person in red is the Media. Oh YAH!

"What Is New Media Technology?"
  • Ipods/Iphones
  • Digital TV
  • HD TV
  • Web 2.0
  • Social Networking
New media technology (NMT) is what the media's technology has evolved into. It adds extra features to simple objects (such as phones or television) to please the audience and give them what they want. Constantly updating these objects also tempts the audience into buying the newest technology, therefore gaining the institution more money. For example, mobile phones first came out about a decade ago where they were as big as bricks and only used for calling people. Over the years they have become smaller, gained a camera, included text messaging and mp3 players. Ipods are quite popular in the society today among all ages and are constantly improving to make it easier to use for the audience. The new Iphone is due for release very soon and it boasts many different features that a phone wouldn't usually have such as a camera, touch screen, mp3 player and more.
