Old Vs. New
Old Media is a term that has no exact definition. Old Media in my opinion are just certain technologies that we no longer use or use little off. Old Media in my opinion are things such as a standard radio, newspaper, cassette tapes, CD's...etc. Even things that we consider to be new media are becoming old media because of the constant upgrades in technology. New media can be defined as a certain form of technology that his "hip" in the moment or an upgrade to something that is considered old media. New media can be such things as itunes, apple ipod, twitter, myspace, facebook, p2p, virtual worlds...etc.

My definition on old media is similiar to yours. I guess its true, "great mind think alike." ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your definition of old and new media. On my blog I pointed out that old media is static while new media is dynamic. The introduction of Web 2.0 has made it easier for all of us to be heard. What we are doing right now is a form of new media. Blogs have made it easy for any person to speak his or her mind.
