The print text “Digital Divisions” and the My Media podcast both emphasize the changing ways in which people communicate information, but they reinforce these ideas using different methods. “Digital Divisions” uses a compare-contrast structure. The passage is divided into sections discussing the merits of digital and print texts to show that the “divide is over the worth and benefit of technology itself.” By emphasizing the word divide and splitting the text into two main paragraphs, “Digital Division” stresses the conflict and tension of differing views of technology. The My Media podcast emphasizes multiple ideas through multiple speakers. These speakers enthusiastically respond to one another using exclamations like “Definitely!” to draw the attention of listeners to specific points. The podcast also focuses more on the elements of media, with an emphasis on how “sound and film had a huge impact.” This reinforces the idea of change but looks more at the role a specific form of media plays and takes a more positive view.
