Old vs. New

'New' media are basically the latest evolution of 'old' media. For example, the basic telephone attached to a cord are now wireless smartphones with various abilities, such as email push so that you can receive your email right on your phone the moment it reaches your inbox. Printed newspapers has now become blogs and web articles which allows you to get news as it's happening.

One of the major benefits of new media is that you are now able to get information extremely fast compare to that of old media. Staying connected with some friends and family has also become very easy. For instance networking sites like facebook and myspace allows you to share videos and photos with anyone you want; whereas normally with old media, you would have to email them and before that send through postal services.
