Navigating Technomedia response

I found this article very insightful and interesting. I first learned what technomedia is: "media technologies that are defined by interoperability between devices, usually using the internet as the connective medium" (p. 3). I then learned how the effects of technomedia have shaped our society and how we use media and technology. I never thought about how media used to be separate of technology. Each type of media had its own device to access that specific media. However, with the rise of the internet, media like television, became accessible on a varity of technological devices such as computers and phones. In todays society, technomedia allows us to access any type of media on almost any type of technological device. The implications technomedia has are very broad, because unlike other era's of communication which were either labeled "information" or "communication" systems, technomedia eliminates the boundaries because of it's ability to act as both. I agree with the author when he says technomedia "challenges thought and pushes it toward the future" (p.18). The fluidity that media has through an array of different devices allows us to spread information and thoughts with efficiency and speed.
