YINA/ How has new media changed the lives of people?
New media has now improvised the lives of many people as new media reveals information that they may not have come across before. The internet allows a wide range of information to be spread around the world. As the internet is now very accessible, many people are able to do research and get information or statistics from the internet or even post about what interesting facts that they chance upon. Before the advent of new media, people are only able to gather information from books or from their teachers if it is academically related. But for now, new media changes the lifestyle of people as more rely heavily on the internet for information. It is also more convenient as compared to spending many hours trying to obtain information from a small part of a book. For example, it is estimated that 400 million google searches are done per day since the invention of new media. This shows that many people now obtain information from the internet and thus are heavy-reliant on technology changing the lifestyles of people.

hi.
ReplyDeletei agree that new media has given us the ability to receive information that has never been seen before. however, i think that since the question asked how has new media changed our lives for the better -- maybe you could include comparative words such as "better", "more"? good that you used an example of google that shows that people are very reliant on new media! but the change in our lives is not very significantly shown... somehow?
:)
that's what i think!
hahaha yeszzz go yina!!!
Yes, she has answered the question :D
ReplyDeleteErm, she focuses on the internet but didn't really make it clear the forms of new media
Yup, she states the benefits of new media like how it is more conviniet/accesible and how it widens one's source of attaining information.
overall, GOOD JOB YINA ^^
Yina have not answered the question because internet is not a new media but a mass media. The definition of new media is not clearly defined as she elaborated what internet does instead of new media. There are evidences however it is not relevant to new media. Maybe she could have mentioned wikipedia being user generated which is a form of new media and hence there is information sharing between users.
ReplyDeleteYes, Yi Na has shown that new media is easier to use than traditional media with the example of the internet versus poring through books.
ReplyDeleteHowever, she has not mentioned that the new media has user-generated content.
