The effects of New Media on Old Media by Logan (8-33)

As we have learnt earlier, new media is an improvisation of old media. Chapters 23-33 talk about how the telegraph has been integrated into laptops and computers. Offcourse the device has become more sophisticated than before. The telephone has transformed into smartphones that are just like a mini computer in our pockets. The impact of old media has been more that what new media has on old media, since the human race strives for progress which means thinking about the present and future and lesser about the past.

Chapters 16-22 tell us how exactly old media has influenced new media. Manuscripts, books and artwork have become an important part of new media. All these materials from the older times are now available online. This serves as business for the new media. Kindles have become the devices that basically act like a library and have all the books available. Photos can be photo-shopped and sold online, instead of just printing the pictures
