The 21st Century has given us a vast variety of new communication technologies. Primarily due to the internet, we are immersed in the Information Age. This new era in world history gives us technology that no longer belongs to major media outlets and organizations like corporations, but now exists in the hands of the average American on a daily basis. We now communicate not only through written text but through a wide variety of multiple modalities. We can compose and express ourselves creatively through digital imagery, audio and video. This technology has given writers new access to the masses in ways never before experienced with the use of digital media.
The average person with an average computer can create and compose in a wide manner of modalities.
For example, we can create re-mixes and mash-ups of images, videos and music.
Here is a fantastic example of remix that is purely for your enjoyment but is a perfect example of mash-up.
What we have is a mash up that consists of two completely different music videos. The first is by Pink Floyd and the second is the Bee Gees. It's title is "Stayin' Alive In The Wall (Pink Floyd vs Bee Gees Mashup)" by Wax Audio.
