1. Choose a modern media platform and discuss how you were or are influenced by this platform as a consumer and/or a creator of popular culture.

• 2. Past Media Platform
• Identify one specific historical media platform that your modern media platform evolved from. This technology must have helped somehow to pave the way for your modern platform. (You may need to do some research here)
• Discuss how this earlier version of the media platform helped pave the way for your modern media platform. Be sure to discuss the affordances of the platform and how these helped to shape the development of your modern platform

3. Pop Culture Connection

• Identify and discuss a specific way in which either your modern or past platform shaped popular culture. This could be a media piece distributed through or created on the platform (song, film, social media post, etc.), an important event, a popular culture trend, or any other specific example that demonstrates the impact of your platform on popular culture.
