The web is celebrated as the revolutionary technology that created equal opportunity, access, and potential. Only a quarter of people can use it though, this lead to controversy. The web is supposed to be available for everyone, to make everyone have equal power, share their stories and such. Not everyone can truly do that since some of them don’t have access to the internet. The ideas that are put on the internet can also be interpreted in different ways, such as portraying the state of a country like Africa wrong. The web is also used to help with businesses and companies who don’t have access can’t use it to help them. Wikipedia is an example as implement to the idea of Libertarianism, because it can cause ordinary people to gain the ability to have authority over a subject, to explain an event not many people know about, and twist the facts around so it will follow what they believe rather than what is actually the truth. Libertarianism is a belief of freewill, while interacting...

With this people can learn about distant places and if they have any social issues going on.  The digital convergence is possible because visual media can transcend language and other cultural issues while writing can’t.             2.  The World Wide Web opens the door to a much wider audience because helps people from all over the world create sites and other browsers for audience to view.

The difference between the pre-literate acoustic world and the alphabetical visual world is that the pre-literate acoustic world is part of our own cognitions or illusions; we can come up with what we want to write in this language. The audience sees things from that writer’s perspective, the information comes from everywhere and what we see and do. The visual world comes from what the writers believe and sources that they cannot see or hear them. The television has become part of the acoustic world because it allows viewers to see things that they cannot be present for. It is helped for them to gain a new perception on what is happening in other areas that they can write about. The alphabet has segregating tendencies because it is not always perfect with how it gets the message from the printing press. The acoustic writing exists in its own universe and the alphabet is a part of that universe. Hearing, radio, television, and cyberspace have their own versions of acoustic writing be...

Daniel Wallburg 1. Convergence happens in the media and communication fields because people are always looking for stories to talk about and want to experience different types of entertainment. The two conditions that lead to convergence are the media producer and the media consumer interaction. The more people talk about a story like a cartoon character being racist the more attention it will get on media sources like the computer and Television. This is shown by the one who created the story of the character Bert being a racist character, even though he was from Sesame’s Street. He created a cult that he did not need to create. 2. The three different kinds of convergences that the reading talked about were media convergence, participatory culture, and collective intelligence. Media convergence is how the story gets told throughout the media, it talks about news stories, the different brands that are being sold and the consumers can get what they want. The participatory culture w...
