Abstract one
This journal looks at the media and how it has developed in society. It discusses how many households are using multiple forms of media, and how society is progressing towards a ‘mass adoption’. Livingstone questions just how media is actually new. She says that new media is developed, and then made into something new, and constantly developed as opposed to being completely new. She says “there is nothing new under the sun”. She goes on to argue that media doesn’t shape cultural change on its own; this is also done through social, economic and political progress. Livingstone suggests that certain informational products are already out of date by the time they reach the shelves, simply because culture changes and develops sop rapidly.
