two mediums are better than one

As I mentioned in one of my recent Twitter posts, I love it when the line between one medium and another becomes blurred.

Telecommunications and photography.  Television and internet.  Music and internet.  This has been happening for years.  The iPhone is a prime example of what can happen when you create a device that allows for this sort of convergence: camera, mp3 player, phone, and computer in one.

There are also countless websites built on this principle (think Hulu or Flickr).  It’s also found with any print news syndicated for online use.  It’s all around us all the time–in advertisements, communications and entertainment.

Recently, I came across this article about a video ad in an upcoming print publication.

I’m always curious to see what’s next to join forces in this no-holds-barred, technology-driven, fast-paced world we live in.  It’s only a matter of time before we’re reviewing movies on imdb.com on tv and uploading photos to Flickr from our cameras.
