It has been a long time since we had to use a pencil and paper to write an essay. Such a long time that, it is almost unimaginable to function without the computers. I believe this is the first noticeable shift in Old vs. New media in the history of technology.
Hand written scripts vs. Massively manufactured, computer based production- Years ago…centuries even..books, and different scripts had a very difficult time of being produce. That said; it would take monks, moths and years to hand write certain scripts, for which copying technology in today era is much faster and easier.
TV years ago and TV now- This is still considered same media, but it has majorly expended its habits in today’s technology. Fifty years ago TV was a luxury and only certain programs were offered to public-the ones that were able to afford it. In today’s world this aspect is massively shifting to a broader-almost complete population of the world and it has become a number one informational unit for people. But now, if we compare computers and internet technologies in today’s era, even that new TV media is shifting its roots away and yielding its functions to internet and computers where much easier access is given to all worldwide affairs.
Looking at future- this new and popping culture of internet and mobile connections on every step of the way is possibly going to be exchanged with the new virtual world technologies that might be braking through in just few years.
