Media Technologies

Identify at least four different media technologies and discuss their uses and the audiences for which they are intended. Skype: This technology is used for interactive communication over the internet; most families use it to communicate with their children that are in college. This is a great way to do conference meeting from your living room and meet new people over the internet. This is also used to communicate with others overseas; there are people who use Skype to talk to their families that live out of the country and some use it to talk to people right in their own town because they do not have a land phone and it helps them to be able to save on their anytime minutes on their cell phone so the audience for Skype would be anyone that can use a computer. Yahoo:  This is a search engine that is used for e-mail, news, photos, Instant Messaging, games, chatting and much more. Most people use it to receive e-mails and to chat with others, also I think that use it to comment on articles listed on this site. The audiences that use this site are those who need site to obtain email, play games and chat. This is open to all ages and can be used for so many reasons and I think that the audience is a variety of people. Facebook: this media page is used to connect people from all over the world also it is used to network other business, most people come onto facebook to chat and to post pictures, blogs, notes and sometimes personal information, most sites on the internet have a large audience, although, some audiences should be kept away from curtain types of web pages and media tech because of security reasons. Myspace: This media page is similar to facebook and it also allows for interaction for people who live overseas and for distance within the USA so families can connect. People also use this site to network and to date, which is a large venue now when it comes to dating and meeting people from other countries. Like other sites this site has a large audience which is mostly adults.
