The Advantages of the New Media Technologies
Portability is a big advantage of new media technologies and is being
touched upon by nearly all newly released technologies. Everything
that has been previously released is then re-released but in a smaller
version. One good example of this is the iPod. Although there original
iPod was a huge seller, selling 4.5 million in just 3 months, Apple
then decided to release the ‘iPod mini’. Even though it was only
possible to fit 1000 songs on the iPod mini it was still one of the
most anticipated new technologies of last year. They are now taking it
to another level where Apple is planning to release the ‘iPod shuffle’
which is only 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. The fact that many of the
top media industries are now releasing handheld versions of their best
selling technologies comes as no real surprise. Many industries are
finding that the market is slowly being saturated and is in need of a
few new ideas to fill it back up with. This is why new technologies
have been made and released so quickly. It gives the audience the
chance to take their favourite past times around with them e.g. TV,
film and music. Portability also opens up many other doors for certain
media industries. Again iPod is a good example of this. They decided
to expand on the idea of everything being portable and instead of
creating two separate new technologies they brought a visual aspect to
their original iPods to make the ‘iPod photo’. This meant that while
the audience is listening to music they can look at photos that can be
stored on the iPod.
Another advantage that new media technologies have to offer is the

addition is whilst watching the football it is possible to watch one
specific player the whole match or even watch more than one match at a
time by splitting the screen in two. Another advantage that ties in
with interactivity is increase choice. Like it was said earlier it is
possible to access more than one football match at a time. Also it is
possible to watch new films without having to go out and rent them.
All you have to do is press a button and you are presented with a list
of films that are available to you. So another advantage here is speed
of access. It is becoming increasingly easy to find what you are
looking for in a very short amount of time. With just one push of a
button a very wide variety of options is made available to the
audience.

Introduction of the iPod: The iPod was introduced into the market just in time for Christmas, 2001. The first iPod was priced at $399. Apple relied on a hard disk for storage instead of flash memory or interchangeable CD-Roms and focused on promoting the uniqueness of the small size, power, and ease of use of the device. This first iPod had a 5 GB storage capacity—which is enough to hold over 1,000 songs—and it worked only on Macs, using iTunes as a music organization and CD-to-iPod conversion tool. iTunes, digital jukebox software that let Mac users import songs from CDs by converting audio files to the MP3 format and storing them on the computer’s hard drive, was introduced in January of 2001. Along with the iPod, Apple announced an enhanced version of iTunes that included a 10-band equalizer with presets, as well as a cross fading feature for smoother transitions from one song to another. An Auto Sync capability facilitated the downloading of music from a Mac to the new portable media device. Once the music was downloaded, Apple promised 10 hours of continuous play from the iPod’s rechargeable lithium battery. The device supported MP3, with bit rates of up to 320kbits/s, as well as AIFF and WAV file formats. Its amplifier could deliver 20-20,000-Hz frequency response. Apple sold 125,000 iPods by the end of December 2001.

As our society progresses and advances, the media options that we have available to us will widen. The old and new media that we currently have in our society is a media that alters the way we live our lives through changing our lifestyle, choices, and habits. Our old and new media is something that people are able to use simultaneously, but is it something people are able to do efficiently? This paper will discuss the interrelated use of old and new media specifically looking at social media and textbooks, or learning in general. Many college students like to have social media tabs or outlets open as they study or complete their work. We will take a look at whether having the media tab easily accessibly open aids or deters the studying habits
As for today, whole world using some sort of technology. Everybody, or least every other person, has smartphone, laptop or other electronic devices which they are using for various purposes such as news, games, social media, studying, researching and etc. More on, all the gadgets and internet plans are at affordable prices. Therefore, there is no age or price limitations on media and they are being very popular in recent years. For example, Tweeting, blogging, texting, using Facebook, Instagram and other social media for personal or professional use has been increasing every day. “It has been reported that Facebook has over 1 billion active users and Twitter has over 140 million users. Approximately eight of 10 health care companies use social
There is a new substantial form of media that has been popularized in recent years that has changed how we as individuals and a society, think, live, share, and create. From the most influential politicization, to the vagabond on the street, every single person is affected by this new form of media and it becomes more substantial in our lives every day. The movie Men, Women, and Children, and the first chapters of New Media, and New New Media, all share a common theme: the attempt to shed light on this medium, called new media, and explain how it affects our lives.
Social media is a services of web-based networking sites that allow users to construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, articulate with other users with whom they share a connection, and view their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature of these connections may vary from site to site (Herring, 2009)
Basically, it takes half a second to get online and type a subject in the search engine, at which point we have several links to the subject of interest appear on the screen. We then have the option to select the link which most applies to the topic of interest and there we have information readily available on just about any topic.
...P, 2005, p 23) Around 2005 cell phones and PDAs were referred to as Swiss army knives of gadgets due to the fact they had many functions in one device. All the big phone companies at the time were premiering phones with more mp3 storage than mp3 player, essentially foreshadowing the future. (Dempsey, P, 2005, pg. 23)An average smart phone in the year 2014 can hold around 8-16 gigabytes of data, and if storage is allotted correctly, the phone can hold thousands of mp3s. Any mp3 player trying to have a foothold in the consumer market cannot compete with a device that is an essential part of an average person’s daily life, and a music player. “Smartphones with increasingly high-quality audio and video capabilities have become popular and therefore hamper demand for products in the Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing industry.” (Krabeepetcharat, T. 2013. p. 8)
Media and technology have an ever increasing role in how we as humans communicate with one another as well as help impact our culture. The printed word, once able to be mass produced helped usher in an era where where people could seek the education and reading skills they desired, brought print and knowledge to the masses. Now with the more common use of digital communication and media outlets, our options for information and communication are almost entirely unimpeded. Technology allows us to live through multiple Renaissance type periods filled with ever growing pools of information from which to share, and culture changing happenings coming from every corner of our connected world.
Newspapers have been around since the early 18th century, gaining prominence after 1790 during the colonial era. Magazines followed right behind newspapers and gained popularity as well, television followed last, booming with popularity in the 1960’s. Television is still the most often used source for news and other information such as the weather. But new forms of mass media are on the rise, such as channels, blogs and podcasts, which have been around since the early 2000’s but are now picking up momentum and gaining prominence as a news source. There are similarities as well as differences between the old media and the new media, and while the new media is more modern and accessible it does not have to push old media out of the picture, the two can be combined for the benefit of the consumers and
