The Changes in Mass Comm: What does the future of mass communication hold?

In our current society, mass communication impacts every area of our lives. Moreover, it's function includes entertaining, informing, and connecting us. Throughout the years, mediums of mass communication continue to evolve and change. From the time I was born in 1984 to the present, so many developments have been made in technology that has revolutionized communication. I can remember when only a handful of people actually owned computers, like the Commodore 64. In addition, they were not the powerful and limitless machines of today, but instead large, bulky boxes that could only perform a handful of useful functions. Now, they connect us to the world and affect daily personal and work lives on a daily basis. Similarly, cellphones are morphing into mini portable computers. As a result, in the next several years, I think the mass communication industry will focus on cellphone development in order to become the dominant medium. It will probably replace many of current electronics. Furthermore, it will function as our television, phone, internet, and computer all rolled into one tiny package.
