Sometimes. The Medium is the Message.

In this Assignment I will Post 3 examples of Mediums:


The image on my right is not just a blue frog but it is the icon for a file torrenting program called Azures Vuze. It is simple. You plug in what you want to find- music, movies, tv shows, old history exams, plans for the original Tesla cord and you hit search. Vuze then searches from the files of millions of different people to give you exactly what you want. It is constantly changing as people are constantly adding and withdrawing new movies, programs and music to Vuze. Quite possibly the best way to get music. Ever. (may or may not be illegal)







You probably have no idea what this is. But for Ultimate frisbee players it maybe one of the most important inventions of all time. It is essentially an open forum that connects millions of ultimate frisbee players around the world. RSD stands for Rec.Sports.Disc. and it lets people get the word out about whats going around in ultimate. There you can post anything from team strategies to when your next big tournament will be. It is truly a great network and a godsend for many teams.







Everyone knows what Xbox Live is. It was the revolution in the gaming industry. With LIVE as we call it people can be connected to other gamers all over the world through a simple Ethernet cord. What is even more impressive is its ability to allow friends to send messages to each other instantly. With the improvement of Netflix on LIVE you can even watch movies and tv shows Streaming through your Tv. It has something for everyone.
It connects you with other gamers, acts like AIM,
and gives you millions of programs at your disposal.
