Old vs. New

New technologies lead to new media platforms and styles. These new medias, are just a change and base on a scale of improvements from old media. Its like painting your apartment and then saying its brand new. The same concepts apply with minor enhancements, the purpose and structure remain the same. There are many types of New Media replacing what was Old Media. For example, what was TV, Movies, Radios, Books, News, etc. are now Youtube, Netflix, Shoutcast, Ebooks, Wikis, and Skype. People have adapt to this new life, allowing them to know and do almost everything on the computer. Its amazing how a person can video chat with a friend halfway around the world, as if you guys were side by side. Last year, I became a Netflix member, and it is amazing how convenient it is to rent movies and have them deliver at my door. I am concern with New Media, many people as I speak for myself also have become lazy and very comfortable with the endless ability of the Internet, which may taunt society with many suprises as a whole one day.
