Have the new media changed our lives for the better? (vjc/2007/jc2/ct)
New media have changed our lives for the better as people could now spread information to a large audience within a shorter period of time. Being able to spread information to a large audience within a shorter time can help to make things more convenient. For example, google can reach a over 158 million US monthly people. This means that people can now spread their messages across a wide range of audiences through the internet in a very short time. Before the advent of new media, information can only spread through television or printed media such as newspapers, magazine, books etc. Such media channels are usually unable to get the necessary attention within a short time as compared to the new media nowadays. on the contrary, people can now share their thoughts with a mass audience via blogging. As blogs are opened to the general public, everyone can access to the blogs and hence are able to comment on it, giving feedbacks to the blog posts. This can create an interactive platform between the writer and the readers. Hence, new media has changed our lives for the better as more audiences are reached.

ReplyDeleteyou have not clearly defined new media. why is information so widely available? because it comes from more than 1 source? because people do not only depend on mainstream sources of information but can reach out to other people who have the knowledge?
