"Ever since the Media Education Lab moved from Temple University to the University of Rhode Island, I was looking for a chance to update the classic media literacy remote control...[which] presents a metaphor for the active and structured approach to the analysis of media and popular culture." The remote control has been re-designed to " a smartphone look while keeping the key questions and core concepts the same.
This "new Media Education Lab App (MEL App) engages people in dialogue and information-sharing, showcasing to already-media literate people how media literacy can be learned through exploration of critical questions."
This article is in relation to what we are talking about in class because it has to do with popular culture. This new invention that they had made was based on already a device that was use for media literacy. But with all the new technology advancing and growing they decided to make it look more attracting to society by making it look like a smartphone. By making it look like a smartphone more people would be attracted to it since everyone around the world now have smartphone devices. This is not only across the US but across the world . Its spreading so it much likely consider popular culture because everyone would want to have the new thing coming out.
