1.In new media, digitization and downloading have made information storage and sharing more efficient. The different technologies associated with new media are blogs, Bluetooth, Google, Iphones, virtual worlds and wikis.
2. The Internet has provided a safe, approachable, and above all immediate environment for people to connect to the world of information. It is the best setting for new media to grow in, since in today’s world, it is fed by the masses that contribute thoughts and findings as soon as they come to light. The quickness of the Internet eliminates, as much as possible, a delay in the exchanges of data which could result in serious errors.
3. New media is always a step up from the old. It is built on the old concepts, using what is known, while over time, taking on its own shape and developing its own objects. It takes on a dynamic move forward, while the old media stays static. As examples, newspapers are converting into blogs and wikis, photographs can now be shared on Flicker, and movies can be viewed on podcasts.
