convergences 2-24

While reading Convergences i really wasn't expecting the book to talk about all the types of medium, message, and the various methods that are shown throughout the first reading. After reading the first 15 pages i began to think about the vast types of information that i recieve in a given day. You dont think about it till they give you all of those examples that refered to how men were proposing to their wives. I loved how it gave various pictures and examples so you could compare how different the types of medium changed and how the message took the person by surprise. It also changed my views on television and how they market products through commercials. MTV and other television networks aim their television shows to a specific age group usually from ages any where from 16 to 30. They dont bother trying to interest a group that wont be interestged into their television network. Many people have certain likes and with the uses of medium and methods different messages can be portrayed to various audiences and groups.
