Hey,
This was very interesting article.I enjoyed reading this piece of work. One of the main points of the article was based on affordability. Basically making technology affordable so everyone can have it. I like this idea because I would not like the fact that technology would be designated to certain group of people. If technology had a increased price range then whatever device you had would essential give you a rank in the social class. I feel today we have a small amount of that because there is no way I could afford something like an Ipad but in general technological devices seem affordable and reasonable. Another point of the article is the influence broadcasting provided. The main use of broadcasting is the radio. The radio was a way to widely spread information. I was a great invention because it had a purpose and fulfilled its purpose the best of its ability. The radio was a stepping stone for music to be on the radio and later the t.v. The T.V not only provided information but also provided images for people to see.

The article really points out that technomedia defies time and space(physical). It makes a great point that technomedia used to mean television and radio. Now it's the marraige of television with computers, radio with phones, laptops with film ect ect. The new definition of technomedia means what can be melded to reality is now real. Your post made a good point at the end saying radio was a stepping stone. Now HD, Satellite have become commonplace but they wouldnt have existed without radio's use in the military beggining with awalkie talkies. God Iloved walkie talkies! Thanks for the post :)
