multimodality, multisemiotics and multiliteracies

Multiemodality, multisemiotics and multiliteracies are all about different way of interpreting things using our five senses(see,hear,touch,smell and taste). Because Multiliteracies encourage us to use all of our senses it makes it easier to absorb an comprehend information. For example when you get on an airplane and they go through the shpeel about the exits and masks. Most people don't listen they just look at the handout in each seat with the picture diagrams on how to use the mask and where the exits are. The pictures also make it easier for people to understand how and actual mask is put on. Mccloud uses multimodal literacy by using words combined with a picture in a way in which one can almost hear the sound that is represented in the picture.
