Advancement of Technology

HBO has made a bold move by allowing their television shows to be accessible on the internet.  As technology advances, several TV networks may be forced to do the same.

The author argues that advancement in how story telling is done needs to keep up with the changing face of technology. He uses Netflix, and HBO as examples of how stories are being made available online. The author's strength is bringing in evidence to support his claim, while his weakness is his topic was very obvious.  It is already well known that technology is continually advancing, and the need for television networks to keep up with this is given, as they are beginning to figure out.  His argument is a blanket statement arguing the need for advancement. 

His solution is to try new and innovative ways of telling a story.  He suggests taking risks and thinking outside of the box to keep up with the changing face of technology.

The author's argument supports his main claim because he acknowledges the issue and he addresses how to help advancement.  The evidence he uses is HBO, Netflix, and other television stations as examples of how content has transformed.  His risk taking conclusion could have negative ramifications because it could fail and be unsuccessful.  There is always risk in trying new things, but because it is evident that change is necessary, the risk is worth an attempt. 

To implement his new technique, graphic designers and web designers need to learn how to make their media accessible from different formats.
