1. Formspring.me
Formspring is an internet based medium which allows you to pin-point your current location and share information about your favorite places to go. It connects with Facebook and Twitter so you can relay the information to any of your friends, followers, etc. By posting where you are at any time, it makes yourself available to anyone. This sort of openness makes the Global Village a reality.
2. ASL or American Sign Language. ASL allows deaf and non-deaf people to communicate in a standard language. It's a medium because without it, sign language could be interpreted differently by each person. Like English it has its rules and this keeps the medium working and the message clear.
3. Film. This is an interpretive medium but a medium nonetheless. Although everyone may get something different out of a movie, film is a universal medium because it is as it is. You watch the characters, order of events and action and receive information from them. Movies are widely available therefore the message can be understood by the masses. People talk about blockbusters like Inception and the message they convey. This ties us together in a global village discussin
g the art of film.
