The internet has really taken over how people communicate now, whether its verbally, written out, artistically, and musically. We now have this super highway of information that we definitely use to our advantage to get our messages across. Not too long ago, people used to write letters, use the telephone, and use television to communicate but things have expanded since. We can now use the internet to Instant Message someone, we use email to quickly send a message to someone across the nation, across the globe. We can even use the internet to make video calls to another person far away. Websites such as Facebook, twitter, and Youtube have also really changed the way messages are sent or how information is shared. It is really easy to share your thoughts in a simple status or tweet. Youtube allows people to either use it as a form of entertainment but others use it as their way of creating art through video. Everything is now at our finger tips and can be quickly and easily viewed and shared. With the internet anything is now possible. Artists alike have used the internet to create works of art digitally. The websites we looked through in class were definitely very abstract but they each had a very different message to the viewer. Having the facility to find just about anything on the internet also allows us to view it and remix it and make it something completely new. My favorite example of remix is the Google Logo. They are always remixing it to fit whatever occasion is going on, on a particular day. They take what is already out there and make it their own and incorporate it into their logo. The internet technology most people have access to has really positively influenced the way we communicate our ideas and thoughts whether it be for leisure or art.
