Blog Assignment 6
In the readings, Jenkins describes convergence through technological, industrial, cultural, and social changes. Technological convergence has become huge in this century. An example of this would be our iPhones. We use our iPhones to call people, check our emails, check social media, to wake us up with the alarm clock, time ourselves through the stopwatch, and many other things that we can do with our iPhones. Creative engagement is unique ways of interaction. An example of this would be when we took the survey in class by using our phones to text our response. Our responses appeared online where we could see the percentage of what people said. This is a creative way to engage with your audience. I think by the use of creative engagement, it keeps the audience alert and excited no matter the situation.

That's so true! Think of all the things we would have to carry if we didn't have our iPhones! It provides us with so many utilities; I honestly wouldn't know where I was if I didn't have it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that was a good example about Creative Engagement. People like using their iPhones, why not let them use their iPhones when answering your survey? It's genius.
Great post!
I agree with your comments about technological advances. Right now, Smart TVs are quickly becoming computers. Soon, a Smart TV Screen will be all we need. It'll be a way to access content through an internet connection, allow you to access the internet, probably provide you with multiple screens, maybe let you make calls on it....everything you need will be in one piece of equipment.
