Transmedia is the new age of communication; it’s when one story is played out across multiple platforms and engages the audience in all ways. Almost all things that take place in today’s media is through transmedia. The royal wedding:
The royal wedding was streamed on youtube, live on @KensigntonPalace Instagram story, being live-tweeted by a large amount of the world, and being discussed on most social media platforms.
The purpose of using transmedia is to make us all more connected to each other. But does this connection actually succeeded in making people closer, or does it draw people out of the experience in order to participate in the transmedia world?
Some people think that it is a powerful use in storytelling:

But I believe that overusing transmedia in everyday life, and big moments can take away from the experience.
