What Is New Media?
Media can be described as a source of communication.Radio,television and the newspaper can all be classified as different types of media.In today's world media is ever changing.Media is ever changing because it goes hand in hand with technology in my opinion.With that being stated new media can also be defined and measured by the newest and most popular technology.Technology is defined as the usage and knowledge of tools,machines and techniques in order to solve or improve a problem or perform a specific function.Examples of new technology are laptops,cell phones,gps system,iPads and the list goes on.Companies are trying to make information more accessible, they are making their products very light weight and easy to carry.New media is still a reflection of old media yet more advanced.For example radio,television and newspapers are all still a part of media in today's world.The only difference is that they're all online.Which now introduces the internet and its role in new media.Without internet where would media be?Most likely back in the old media days.Internet makes all the difference because its needed to access all the features on most technical devices.In my opinion new media is not replacing old media,its enhancing it.It is making the forms of media which we are all accustom too more reliable,flexible and more available for us.In "The End Of Books" I read some good quotes and opinions by the writer but I don't agree that books has come to an end,its just simply evolving.
