     The multimedia device that i would find hardest to live without is my mobile phone because it's basically all multimedia devices in one. It has a radio so i can listen to my music as well as my music from my ipod. It has internet so i can use Facebook and download podcasts and watch videos on youtube. without my smart phone i would have limited access to all these things.

The world is becoming to dependent on technology, these days we do everything using technology and in the future it will be worst. If the world of technology would one day fail and shutdown our world would not know what to do having relied on technology our whole lives. although its not necessarily a bad thing technology can also be very helpful in the way we do thing and the speed we do it at.
