The Emergence of 'New' Media.

2 d)
The emergence of new media in our generation is growing rapidly that makes changes to the communication world. For instance, we are surrounded with the convenience of communicating through social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, BlogSpot and more. These are all the tools to communicate easily with various people as compared to the old media which could only communicate with one-to-one communication. 

Both of the picture illustrated is an example of ‘old’ and ‘new’ media:

As we know, the social networking today is well-known as the main communication function. The society relies on all the social media to get interacted with others either in short or long distances. It is also one of the advantages which we could easily get connected with each other within a short period of time like few minutes while ‘old’ media need a longer time like days to reach.

Personally, I would choose Facebook as the communication tool to replace the old media world. It is a social media tool where people get connected daily. As Naughton (n.d.) claims that ‘ownership of the means of cultural production has passed from those who could afford their high capital cost in the old ecosystem to just about anyone who has a computer, some appropriate software and an internet connection’. This has examines that ‘new’ media ‘Facebook’ evolves in the tradition media where it could be modify as an advertising, journalism or marketing tools to reach their audience.

In conclusion, the evolution of ‘new’ media era has overcome the sequence of ‘old’ media. It replaces all the ‘old’ media techniques by improving the usage with more convenient ways. It also helps the society to have an easier life and gets updated easily to the world.
