Podcast- Jan 2008

The teacher on the podcast spoke about various media terminology, described what they meant, and how the products and new media technologies influenced the audiences lives. Here are some of the things I learnt from the podcast:
digitality- new way of encoding info.(1 or 0, on or off)
interactivity- new ability to work with technology
convergions- how some companies merge and work together to make new technology. New gadgets are getting smaller because of increased ability to make more powerful electrical devices.

The teacher also discusses issues related to audience, control and regulation, and ownership.
Here are some questions related to these topics:
audience- Do new technologies change the audience?
Have audience demanded these changes?
Who doesn't have access?

control- Who/What is controlling?
Impact from government?
Should be/Is/Possible to be controlled?

ownership- Market share/Funding?
Competition?
Organisation?
