Interactive media
are useful in four aspects of development where children learn: social and emotional aspect, language development, cognitive and general knowledge and learning approaches. The use of computers and software in the learning environment helps children improve their communication skills and their attitude towards learning. Children who use educational computer programs are often found using more complex language patterns and higher levels of language communication. Research has shown that basic interactive books that simply read a story aloud and highlight the words and phrases they said were helpful for children with lower reading abilities. Children usually learn through a variety of ways, but interactive media help children with visual.
Interactive media makes technology more intuitive to use. Interactive products such as smartphones, iPads/iPods, interactive whiteboards and websites are easy to use. The mere use of these products encourages consumers to experiment with their products rather than read instruction manuals.
Interactive media promote dialogical communication. This form of communication allows senders and recipients to build lasting trust and collaboration. It plays an important role in building relationships. Organizations are also using interactive media to go beyond basic marketing and develop more positive behavioral attitudes
The introduction of interactive media has greatly impacted the lives and inner workings of families, with many family activities in which technology is integrated being easy enough for both children and parents to adapt as they see fit. However, parents are also becoming increasingly concerned about the impact this process will have on their family life. This is not necessarily because they are opposed to technology, but because they are afraid that it will reduce the time they can spend with their children. Research has shown that while interactive media can bring families together when they are physically incapable, addiction to these media also continues to exist even when there are opportunities to spend time with family, often leading adults to believe.
Interactive media distributed
Media that allows multiple geographically dispersed users to interact synchronously with a media application/system is known as distributed interactive media. Some common examples of this type of media are online games, distributed virtual environments, whiteboards used for interactive conferences, and more.
A couple of basic examples of interactive media
are video games and websites. Websites, especially social networking websites, provide an interactive use of texts and graphics to their users who interact with each other in many ways, such as chatting, playing online games, sharing posts that may contain their opinions and/or pictures, etc. . Video games are also one of the most common examples of Interactive Media, as players use a joystick/controller to interactively respond to actions and changes occurring on a game screen created by the game program, which in turn responds to the player’s response through the joystick/controller.
Interactive media can be implemented using various platforms and programs using the technology.
Some examples include mobile platforms such as touch screen smartphones and tablets and other interactive media created solely to solve a unique problem or set of problems. Interactive media are not limited to professional environments, they can be used for any technology that responds to user actions. This can be used in JavaScript and AJAX on web pages, and can also be used in programming languages or technologies that have similar functionality.
One of the most recent innovations in the use of interactivity that solves a problem that people have on a daily basis is Delta Airlines’ “Photon Shower”. This device was developed in collaboration between Delta Airlines and Professor Russell Foster of the University of Cambridge. The device is designed to reduce the effect of current lag on customers who frequently fly long distances across time zones. Interactivity is evident because of how it solves this problem. By observing which time zones a person has crossed and linking them to the main known human sleep cycles, the machine is able to predict when the human body is waiting for light and when it is waiting for darkness. The device then creates an instruction card for each person individually, telling them when their body expects daylight or darkness. The growth of interactive media continues to evolve today, with the advent of more powerful machines the limit of what can be entered and manipulated on a real-time display becomes virtually invisible.
