multimodal texts

    Multimodal texts are something I do not encounter on an everyday basis, or at least to my acknowledgement. However, I think I should probably become more used to them seeing as technology is growing by the second and items like these will probably be a necessity before long.

    Currently my main encounter with mulitmodal texts involves the math course I’m taking. The online class includes video, sound, and demonstrations to the math problem I will be solving. Personally,I’d say the online texts, images, and sounds are very helpful. Another interaction I’ve had with multimodal texts are simply when watching You Tube or going to news websites. You Tube allows an individual to make their own movie and post it on the website. At this point, you can pretty much find a video for anything. News websites no longer only post articles or current daily issues, but now share audio to support the article and actual videos you can watch on current topics.

     Overall, multimodal texts have become popular and useful in many lives of individuals. Before long, we’ll become so familiar with these texts that going back to reading an article and not having video footage will seem odd. As technology continues to grow rapidly, society can do nothing but it’s best to keep up. 

The article, “Ron Paul: maverick who could decide the future of the Republican party,” by Ed Pilkingotn and Adam Gabbat   ultimately explains how Ron Paul’s rise in politics is causing repercussions. Ron Paul grew up in Pennsylvania with his family. His family were Lutheran and his father ran a dairy company. Before entering the world of politics, Paul went in to medicine after school, then entered the air force. He was famous for delivering 4,000 babies as an obstetrician. Unlike other Republicans, Paul was one of 6 to vote against the 2002 congressional resolution which called for invasion in Iraq, but he wanted troops to come home. Gingrich did not like Pauil’s anti-war views, and claimed he was, “utterly irrational,” especially because he was against killing Osama Bin Laden. Attendants of Ron Paul’s rallies included, anti war veterans, religious conservatives, legalise canibus campaigners, home schoolers, truthers, and anti-abortionists. As a politician, Ron Paul wanted to abolish the education department, end all federal controls on pollution, eliminate income tax, and a few others. Ron Paul may have not been in high favor of South Carolinians, he was admired by majority of the rest of the ideas for his alternate ideas behind republican ideas.
