New New
Media 1-5
One
of the most intriguing topics about social media is how it operates. In
Levinson’s “New New Media” the texts of how social media has formed part of our
daily lives is captivating, giving a new perspective to how the evolution of
personal relationships and, closely enough, the maturity of the internet in the
past 25 years.
What
keeps Facebook relevant is the ease at which you can find someone you need to
contact. social media is relevant and plays a big role in the millennial age
groups- early and middle twenties. Some are addicted and cannot do without
using these social media platforms. Considering the Alexa program, they may not
have considered mobile applications and their number of users, but only web
accounts.
The
best thing about YouTube is that older videos can be found within the site, but
the downside is that copyright infringements are considered and this means some
videos are uploaded on personal channels and can be removed if they infringe
the laws. unlike the “New New Media”, YouTube lacks the space and time binding.
The openness of Wikipedia makes it vulnerable, but it is one good source of
content when referring to a vast topic while doing research. The combination of
text and media seems to be the trend; this is where companies are investing in.
We
live in a world where information is instantaneous-no letters, no mails just
posts, tweets and video clips. This “New New Media” has made it possible to be
included in one’s life through these posts and video clips. The evolution of
this new new media will include more new media to be as time goes by.
