New media has forever
changed the way people talk and communicate with each other and how we access
information. Three important
distinctions about new media is the unlimited access to information through the
internet from the past to real time, the vast means of communication through
social media and cellular devices, and new technology being interactive with
the user. These distinctions make it
easier for people to gather mass amounts of communication quickly and be able
to connect and share items with people across the world.
With today’s quick pace
society, new media has satisfied the demands of being able to have a fast relay
of information to different sources along with being able to access this
information just as quickly. It also
helps people have a faster way to communicate with each other and an easier way
to send and share different types of media and data with one another.
With how quickly
technology is advancing and evolving, new media can now be accessible through a
multitude of devices that can even fit into the palm of our hand. New user interaction, such as touch screens,
makes using these devices much easier and simpler. Technology has helped make networking a lot
easier as well. Because there are now so
many new ways and forms of communication and connecting that did not previously
exist, local, national, and international networking is made possible for
anyone by allowing people to connect online.
New media has also impacted
the way we learn, communicate, and create culture. Because of new interactive technology, there
are now different and innovative techniques that teachers can use in order to
make learning more fun and less difficult.
It also helps students to have more information and resources available
to them in order to help them excel in school, while allowing students to be
able to present their work and findings in new ways and through easier means by
using software and media such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, videos, photos,
and other useful outlets.
With the new generation
a new culture of online sharing and communicating is being created that will
forever change society and the way we interact.
Technology will continue to advance, and in the future more new media
will appear that will help improve and simplify the lives of people everywhere.
Opinion: Do you think Epic 2014 offers a true vision
of media in the near future? What is your vision of media in the near future?
I do not feel like Epic
2014 offers a true vision of media in the near future. Media and technology is constantly making
improvement and advancements, and most previously printed things are now online. Therefore, why would we revert back to print? I think in the near future there will be more
devices created to make the accessibility of information easier and more convenient,
and there will be more improvements to cell phones.
