OLD AND NEW MEDIA

We are still using the old media but things are expanding. With television and radio there are so many more channels and now you can pause and record. We are still using new media for old media. A good example of that would be a simple telephone line and something like a book.

There is so much more new media such as twitter- it is connecting new media together as it is connecting videos and pictures to it. There is a lot of new media such as sky, mobile phones (you can even use the internet on them), video games and the internet.
