week 2 new media and previous media

The development of New Media is dependant on our previous knowledge, as through knowing and utilising previous media forms, like analogue tv, we are therefore then encouraged and likely to use the newer forms, like digital tv. This gives us a positive attitude to accept new media forms. Our ideologies and values are also subject to this 'accepting' new forms. Mainly, new forms are embraced and seen as positive, but the rise of text talk has left alot of people angry and annoyed, that young people in particular, are prevented from learning how to speak and write properly.

  1. thats so true, i have been in an exam once and instead of writing properly, i write in text language, like 'hav' instead of 'have'. i think its because i spend more of my time writing on social networks and texting that writing normally has become second nature. Its kind of worrying
