Old vs. New

How can we really distinguish old media from new media? Its simple. If it is quicker and easier to do, it is new media. Lets take newspapers for example. Traditionally, we would have to order a newspaper service or buy newspapers each day, read page by page, while turning the pages and later having to wipe off ink from your fingers. After you're done, you would have to throw them out and feel bad for wasting paper. NEW MEDIA with newspapers would be going online or customizing an online page to get the news YOU WANT and reading what you want to read with a simple click of the mouse. On top of that, it is free. Its quicker and paperless. The only downside is to the companies who rely on selling newspapers for a business.
