Chapter 14. Medium influence

Which medium do you think may have the strongest influence on people: radio, film, television, or the internet. Why?

I think that out of the choices given in this scenario, I think that the internet would be the prime source of medium influence for a few reasons. For one if you look at a couple of the choices they are highly associated with internet like people can look at television shows online now as well as stream movies from certain websites. The internet has definitely been one of the dominant traits that has known to exist on mankind. With the internet people can dig into deeper research as to if they want a new item/luxery or if they want to travel to a particular location or anything else of their interest. Also with internet it is interactive and you can communicate in a two dimensional interface as supposed to a one dimension interface like the other choices where you just intake the information with no interaction opportunity. Finally the internet is one that is most turned to in regards to entertainment, infomation/learning, or any other purpose rather than one or the other like the others. I.e Film, television primarily for entertainment, radio for informational purposes, the point is internet is interchangable.
