Blog 3 Interactivity
I chose this article looking at interactivity from a different angle. Since Reddit is deciding to "clean up" their site then that can change the way users interact with Reddit, instead of looking up envelope-pushing material, it can turn into more of an educational site (not fully). With this change it will also bring more, as well as repel users from visiting their site to interact.

Blog 2
The one network law I most agree with would be Sarnoff's Law. Sarnoff's law states that "the value of a broadcast network is directly proportional to the number of viewers." I strongly believe that the majority of power that is given to most media outlets and news channels are solely based on the amount of viewers their program receives. Our media proves that every day with the continuous manipulation of other media services to help create the bias news that helps maintain viewership.
That brings me to the second question, because people have become more interactive (with social media news) with their news and how they obtain it. Especially after looking back to 2010 and how different society has become, being able to just find out the main news through bias websites such as Facebook, it will only double in the next 5 years. Slowly, it's becoming more prevalent that the majority of this world will start to just trust there extreme websites without ever getting the full story.
