So here I was thinking that news media was all about
social networking sites like facebook, twitter and you tube but boy was I
wrong. After reading chapter one and two of The introduction to new media
I was enlightened.
New media as it turns out is more than social networking
sites or on-line news websites , it also
consists of the 3C’s (Communication , Computing and Content ).New media can
also be thought of as digital media.
It was interesting to know that the internet came about
because there was an emergence and mass popularization so people saw that there
was a need for the internet. usage has been on the rise especially in Africa .
New media and the
use the internet creates immediacy , such technological advances create
“borderless” communication whereas people from all across the world can
communicate with each other despite the time and the geographical location they
find themselves in.
