The World of Multimedia

1.       Where do you commonly use multimedia in your daily life, list as many examples as you can.
Multimedia is a part of my everyday life. I rarely go a day without checking my email on my laptop-if I forget then I check it on my iPod Touch with wifi. I use it at home, in the car, at school, in bed (listening to music) and just about everywhere else.
2.       What multimedia device or service would you find it hardest to be without? Discuss.
Laptop-I cannot go a day without turning on my laptop and doing something. If I did not have my laptop then i would have to check my email on my iPod and do most of my school work and assignments on the dusty old PC in the house-or have to do it in the school library.
