The World Of Multimedia

The world of multimedia

1.    Where do you commonly use multimedia in your daily life, list as many examples as you can.

The places that I mostly use multimedia will be, at home. I think that I use the most multimedia there because at home I have access to the internet, internet on my phone (connected from the house wifi), my Mobil phone (calling and messaging purposes), the televising. Although you do not have to use all of the above at home, these can be used in several different places. For example  

·         McDonalds has free internet access, that meaning you could connect the internet for you phone, laptop, iPod, ipads etc through the McDonalds account for free.

·         Outdoor, internet access can be used out-doors just depending on how much reception that you have available.

·         At home

·         Shops ( some shops will have a television in there store with some shows playing)

·         Restaurants ( radio and music )

2.    What multimedia device or service would you find it hardest to be without? Discuss.

The multimedia device that I would find it hard to live without would most likely have to be my laptop. I chose my laptop because it is very convenient for me to use, it doesn’t weight allot, it is quick and easy and I get all my work and assignments that is needed to be done on it. It also has a big storage place that meaning I can be able to download, movies, shows, music, and pictures, and still have quite a fair bit of storage space left.

4.      Do you see any disadvantages/advantages to the use of such multimedia technology?

No, I think that the use of this much technology could be good for the world seeing that it gives the world and the people in it something to look forward to and to be excited about. However some disadvantages of using this much multimedia could take up allot of electricity costing people to pay a fair bit of money.
