How do we distinguish “new media” from “old” media? List and explain several ways to do this.
Old Media: Yellow Pages - a telephone book with yellow pages which listed businesses, products, or services in alphabetical order.
New Media: Google - a search engine where there is no limit to what you can look for, which broadens the local search to a national search.
Old Media: (general) Newspaper Classified Ads - small ad which usually includes but is not limited to jobs, cars for sale, wanted, real estate, and education.
New Media: Craiglist - again, here we have another search site that broadens those very same interests to a national level and decreases the timeframe.
Old Media: Records (Vinyl) - records could be purchased at your local record store and played on a record player anytime...anywhere
New Media: iTunes - can be played anytime...anywhere but instantly. You can download an album onto your computer in the time that it takes you to go to the refrigerator for something to drink
TIMES HAVE CHANGED!! DON'T BE LEFT BEHIND!!
