App Review

Wakie is a social alarm clock. I picked it as my app because it is incredibly difficult to wake up sometimes and this alarm clock is an inventive solution to that.
The app allows you to either be the person who calls to wake up a person or the receiver of the call. It boasts that conversation is one of the most stimulating ways to be woken up, but at 60 seconds the call will automatically disconnect.
This is very innovative when compared to the other alarm clocks on the app store so with it being free The app began as an android only app, but recently it debuted on the apple app store, though it hasn't been immensely successful their yet. I feel it will begin to garner a lot more attention.

Medium is the Message is the Medium

"Medium is the message is the medium". This is a simple statement but it has a lot of depth. I feel it implies that the medium isn't just a means of communication but also apart of the message being conveyed. So as an example, a song carrying a message is very different from a message carried through a letter. The medium used can both enhance or detract from the intent of the message. As media has advanced and technology has become more complex I feel this statement has become even more relevant. Using apps as an example, contacting someone through a normal messaging app sends a very different message than contacting them on "tinder". As mediums of communication becomes more and more diversified the statement "Medium is the message is the medium" will continue to be relevant.
