A New Frontier for a Common Language

In my opinion, multimodal means that the written word is being portrayed through the eyes of the media meaning that, we are exploring new technologies to get our messages across to our friends and even around the world. That is the beauty of multimodal communication, you can reach to the farthest corners of the world with just the click of a button and you are connected to them almost instantaneously. We aren’t separate countries anymore; we are a connected world with new ideas coming from the U. S. to Australia to Germany to Mexico. This new was of communication helps us see every aspects of the world, the television and the internet bring us up close to events on the other side of the world while calling and writing keeps us up to date with people who living a completely different life with different values and morals. I, personally, use this form of communication a lot which helps me stay in contact with those whom I left back at home to come to Sac State. I communicate with people in different states and, to a certain degree, with people in different countries.
