How do we distinguish old media from new media? The difference between old media and new media, for me at least is that old media requires you to leave the house. Whether it is to post a letter, pickup a newspaper/magazine or simply to do some shopping, all these things require time and effort to achieve.
New media, on the other hand, appears to take place via computer. Everything from shopping, keeping in touch with friends, catching up on the latest celebrity gossip or simply perusing a newspaper can all be done with a click of a button without ever having to leave your house.
I think anyone who is over a certain age will easily identify old media from new media. The funny thing is that the younger generation will probably describe our new media as their old media when they grow up!!!
