New Media Changing Society

New media is defiantly changing and evolving at an expediential pace.  The evolution of technology has driven the evolution of technological gadgets that we can not see ourselves without in today’s word.  A few examples would be cell phone (any kind) including the iphone, notepads, mini-readers, GPS etc.

            Communication has come along ways dating back to the Pre-Agricultural Society, symbols, sounds were made and storytelling was taking place as a form of communication.  In the Agricultural Society dating back to modern day Iraq, the final stage of writing was developed.  This method consisted of the final word being translated to a symbol as a form of final stage writing called ‘phonetics’ (3100 B.C.E.).  They had also devolved printing by press power and ink.  Then during the Industrial Society the Gutenberg Bible in 1455 had over 270 individual copies.  By 1960 thousands of individual copies of books could be made at a reasonable cheap price.  Benjamin Harris also had published the first newspaper.  As society grew larger and the industrial revolution began to form and take shape, economic development was rapidly growing and by now this was known as the Information Society.  In 1962 the telephone was introduced, and along came print media, film, computer and video games, recording, cable & satellite television as well as broadcasting.

            With this now and mind and broken down, you can see how civilization has come to the point where it is now.  With more and more complex technological engineering, it has made it much simpler, easier and faster for us (society) to send, receive, broadcast steam etc.  Apple has truly enriched, influenced and touched many individual lives around the world with their unique, savvy, and extraordinary gadgets; such as the ipod, inano, itouch, iphone, ipad, laptops, desktops and monitors.  Pretty soon they will have their own television providing service to compete with Optimum, Fios and DirectTV.

            Many top manufactures whether electronic related (Sony, Samsung) or search engine related (Google) are competing to influence and persuade individuals to consume their product.  Television and film are also dramatically changing with high definition television, to 3D films in the movie theatres and future in home 3D.  As well as VHS to DVD and now Blu-Ray, computers, software, monitors, televisions, computer games, video games (Atari, Magnavox, Coleco, Vectrex, Nitendo GameSystem, Sega Genesis, Super Nitendo, Sony Playstion, 2, 3, Microsoft Xbox, Nitendo Wii).  Cell phones are also evolving such as the iphone, iphone 3GS and now the new iphone 4.

            NEW THINGS ARE COMING OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY, ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF AND IF THEY ARE NOT OUT TODAY THEY WILL BE TOMORROW!
