OLD VS. NEW

This term "new media" could be described in many ways, but what aspect of this new media really differs from the term "old media" is how advance our technology is today. People in the past would have never thought of having so much use for the internet or how avaliable information is on the web. Information gather today is more sufficient and much faster then it was in the past. Before digital televison came out, before the internet came out, media was portrayed or discussed in various radio talk shows, or in newspaper articles. Also news were spread by word of mouth. Nowadays people still listen to the radio or read articles, but their avaliablity now wasn't as vast was it was before the computer or internet was invented. For news articles, people could find almost any article they want by searching for the date or topic it was covering. In the past people couldn't find old articles unless they searched for this newspaper that had it. Sports games could be watched online, or recorded on television technologies like Tivo. Programs like Tivo record the show while your not home, so one could access and watch on their time.
