Ball introduces the term multimodal. Multimodal is defined here by Ball. I draw a direct comparison to the Rheingold reading. As the concept of multimodal is introduced by ball, Rheingold illustrates the internet as a multimodal platform. Rheingold says to "take the Web site's design into account, but don't count on it" as a a way of showing that while the interweb is filled with pictures, resources, and multimodal factors in general, that a researcher must be careful when using sources that communicate a message but in a way that is broad.
