I made a table for you to explain what I mean. I call it “Shawn Conahan’s Media Eras Infographic.” Our company is about sharing media so feel free to use it in your powerpoint, change it if you think its incomplete, etc., but really take a critical look at it.

Now we are seeing convergence create a two-way web that integrates our media such that you have a channel on which you create, consume and share your media. “Find me on Xanga” or “Did you see my post about that?” are illustrations of how our very own “channels” are increasingly the hub of our media and social lives. The Personal Media Device elegantly converges those functions and puts them in your pocket. Put very simply, this is "Channel You." The mobile applications that enable people to do that more are the winners in this new media era.
