I think there is something so special about those yearbooks you get when growing up, you can always go back and refresh yourself of good memories that you can remember. I don’t know how I feel about yearbooks being emerged with media. Although paper can be such a waist and in order to be sensitive to the amount of trees you kill, something still holds a tradition within printed yearbooks to me. It would be a different form of memories if the use of media came into play instead of the classic yearbook.

What with the media’s sudden spike in popularity and increased need of knowledgeability, this may be a great way to expose more students to working with producing media-like products and becoming more knowledgeable in these areas. It can reduce the amount of paper that is consumed and is in a slightly more compacted form. However, with any new action come consequences or per se the pros and the cons. The pros of converging yearbooks with media are prominent, but what are the cons?
