Clueless Cher

First class of Digital Media at Ryerson University and I am in love. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect from this course. What does "Digital Media" even mean? Yeah, I thought about what the term could mean before I stepped into class, but I was clueless. Wasn't all media digital?

Well I'm officially an idiot, thanks to what I learnt the first day of BDC192. For those who were a little clueless like moi, digital media is:

• E-Books
• Social Networking
• Cell Phones
• Video Games
• etc...

Digital media is a not only beneficial, but necessary in today's fast-paced world. Digital media is a great tool for marketing and networking, and this is the sole reason as to why any RTA student should study a course like such.

As to whether Marshall McLuhan was correct when he said "The medium is the message", I believe the answer is yes.

For example, we can still read paperback novels, but what does it say about society today, what message are we receiving from society when we realise that E-Books are rising in popularity and selling out paperbacks? Think about it. Kinda strange, dont'chya think?

See you next week, y'all!
