Before reading the required sections from the Lister book, I would have described new media as emailing to replace a posted letter, digital television and its interactivity to replace the standard 5 channels, online news papers/articles to replace printed editions along with instant messaging and online networking sites such as Facebook / MySpace. These are the types of ‘new media’ which I have experience with and use on frequent occasions.
I have considered these examples because although these types of new media are what I am used to in daily life, I am fully aware of the older media and communication methods which it has replaced. People from younger generations will grow up with these ‘new media’, however, to them what we now describe as new and advanced will be old, as new advancements will have been made.
In other words, ‘new media’ is a term which will always be used, but the media it is indicating will gradually but constantly be changing.
