New New Media (1-5)

This reading was very relatable. New New media is a part of today’s society. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySPace, Pinterest, and so on are all social media sites that enable users to build relationships via the Internet. A lot of people become friends online and connect based on the chats and pictures that they share. Some chats might not be true but still there are a lot of people of resort to these kind of relationships dues to their busy schedules. Even marriage sites are now common, and this happens through social media.  Even employers use sites like LinkedIn to connect with employees and other organizations. The power of social media is enhanced so much that even an interview can be given through a vide chat which is incredible. Personally I have social media sites, which help me stay in touch with friends and family. I think that social media helps a lot of people to stay in touch, communicate, get jobs, find their soul mates and so on. This is an ever-growing field. As McLuhan would say “New New Media are nothing but an extension of the old media and the new media”. New New Media continues to build on things that the Old Media and New Media created. It's a continuity of features and tools.
