Media Mediums


Chegg
Content: images, text, electronic credit transactions, internet
Message: Chegg allows users to rent textbooks instead of purchasing the overpriced mark ups in a bookstore. Chegg is widely used by college students to keep prices low and to prevent getting stuck with textbooks at semester's end.


Blu-ray Disc
Content: images and video in HD resolution
Message: Blu-ray discs are an
innovation to the way we watch movies. Using a blue laser, as opposed to a red laser that makes DVDs, these discs pack more information in a smaller amount of space.


Apple i-Pod
Content: images, video, audio
Message: i-Pods pack a massive amount of information into a tiny space, depending on how many GB it holds. They have revolutionized the way we listen to music. Instead of carrying around a cassette player that holds one tape or a CD player that holds one CD, we now carry around a cell phone-sized i-Pod that can hold up to 15,000 song and video files.
