And the winner is..

First of all, I apologize for the lack of entries as I couldn't make up my mind on which topic to write. So after thinking about it thoroughly I have decided to choose the 3rd topic which is ''How did mobile devices change the way people use the internet? Consider its consumer impact and relate them to a specific creative industry / profession.'' 

Mobile devices is a general term for any type of handheld computer, which is created to increase productivity by making it more portable to bring it around anywhere. You can perform tasks that are usually done on a computer right at the palm of your hand! Some examples of mobile devices are tablets, smartphones, e-readers and also handheld gaming consoles. 

My initial aim for this topic is to discuss how mobile devices which later on contributed to the boost of mobile games and apps, helped those in the creative media industry. Because of the evolution of mobile devices, more functions and capabilities appeared which led to new job opportunities appeared such as UX/UI designer, motion graphics designer, app developer, and many more.  Recently, the VR (Virtual Reality) or Augmented Reality function became available to most handheld devices, making way to more jobs as mobile app developers need to hire designers specializing in virtual reality.

To wrap this up, I will be researching more on how mobile devices plays a role in the creative media industry.
