NEW MEDIA vs OLD MEDIA

There's a wide range of technologies which are part of new media. New media has revolutionized every aspect of today's world, it has changed the various platforms such as the Internet, entertainment, news, advertising industries and the communication technology. New media is much more faster and easily accessible compared to the old media. New Media is convenient and cheap and has given the power to an ordinary person to get his/her stuff done in a much faster and efficient way.

Old Media/ New Media
  1. Newspapers/ Blogs
  2. Books/ E books
  3. Photography/ Flickr
  4. TV/ Streaming Full Episodes
  5. Radio / Podcasting
  6. Magazines / E zines
  7. Telephone/Yahoo Voice, MSN

Looking at the list we can easily compare and feel that the New Media has made our lives much easier than before. With the emergence of Blogs, any ordinary person can go online and present his/her views which would have been impossible to do with the newspapers. Flickr has made the life of the photos longer and easy to store. Now days people can chat or talk through different messengers which has revolutionized communication and has brought everyone much closer.
