Week Four Unlecture

I walked away pondering a couple of issues raised in this lecture.  First is that we have no real way of telling where this industry of media is heading next.  In order to be successful in a career we have to be adaptable.  We need to be able to constantly roll with changing demographics and technologies if we are to keep up with this world where, thanks to amazing outlets such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook; all people can be producers of media.   Thus linking to my second issue that the world of media no longer need people who will produce information and news because the global community will already do this for free.  When news breaks it is no longer first recorded by news stations but by ordinary people at the scene who make a post on Facebook or Twitter and even attach videos and photographs.  Rather what the world of media is looking for is the next big platform that will allow this information to be communicated.
