HOMEWORK: New vs. Old

New media is always in digital form, for example: twitter and YouTube, users are much more likely to interact and response to each other because the internet makes it very easy to do so, virtual communities and creaitivity are the unique products of the new media, it is very flexible and it relies heavily on the internet. Old media i much more manipulative, consumers/users are usually much diversified and have much less power; they rarely interact with each other and don’t have much contribution to the delivered content. Users of the new media are the subjects, aggresive; and users of the old media are the objects, the passive ones.
