Week 9: Multimedia Enhances Messaging and Our Lives!!!


Multimedia enhances messaging by providing awesome graphics, along with the message.  Photos, videos and even movies can be seen in a message.  It is state of the art technology.  Texting is still popular but to have someone describe they great vacation they are having by a text message is nothing compared to actually seeing a video of what friends and family are doing. 
There are compatibility issues in that if one purchases one MMS phone, someone else’s phone may not use the same program and that can be a problem.  Also, charges for sending and receiving can be a big problem.  It can be expensive. 
As far as ease, PowerPoint has always been a good program for me.  Not only in business or school but I have used the program to create invitations, cards, etc.  It is easy to use and sends an effective message.  You can do a lot with PowerPoint, such as video, and audio.  What I like to do is reduce the size of Windows Movie Maker by turning it into a PowerPoint. 
Nothing beats video.  Tools such as Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, Flip Video and GarageBand provide great graphics and lots of versatility for the user to enjoy.  I like Glogster because it is an educational tool that will benefit many students .  The Media Resources is a great part of Glogster.  Animoto is an awesome tool.  Reason being this tool is Cloud based.  Cloud allows a lot of storage and the technology of Cloud will benefit many businesses and people’s personal lives.  The storage capacity for photos and movies is huge.
