Wiki-Media

What can I say about the New Media? Is it all about how people get information? the news? education? First, let us compare the media yesterday, and today. I will format it as the left word to be, the yesterday's, the next word will be from today's.
Newspaper - Internet; Magazine - Internet
Television - Internet; Love one - Internet?
Telephone - Internet; Radio - Internet

It gives a lot of advantages though. It provides easier things. For example, the newspaper, don't you miss the times that a newspaper boy throws a paper to your lawn, or the time when people get actually personal mails from distant relatives, mails that are inside an envelope and you eagerly open it and read the message, or people would actually memorize your telephone number or land line after school to ask assignments and some needed information regarding your class just recent, or listen to the DJ's or VJ's on the radio or television. Today, people would prefer doing those in the internet. Well, if you ask me, it's much convenient and hassle-free though, not to mention, rather than doing those stuffs separately, you can do it with one device, and the only thing you have to do, is to access the internet, the world wide web, the cyberspace.

It may provide advantages, but, we cannot refuse such balance that every good thing has its bad things too.
Because, internet is such a trend today, people would rather slack of and sit in front of the computer. Waiting for notifications, browsing the net to find this and those, instead on going to public libraries for books and read stuffs like articles or magazines or any written information, you can google all of it. But that doesn't mean, the google is always right. And remember, i mentioned that in the last example comparing the yesterdays from todays, people seldom meet people no matter how far you guys are, you just have to have a facebook account, register, log-in and there you go, you can add a friend as many as you want, as long as he/she is existing on the social website. What are the disadvantages? the downhills? One thing that people is concern about, especially the parents out there, kids or oldies, the people who are IN-to techies, computers, have high health risks comparing to those who don't prefer on using the computer. People need regular exercises to strengthen body resistance and etc. that covers health management. Next is, today, people are much lazier than of the yesterdays, because information is one click-away, they prefer doing the clickies to the cyberspace rather than doing it in the real world. People today, publicize personal profiles. Yeah they meet people in the easier way, but don't they ever think about the consequences? You won't even know his/her true personalities, or whatever the persons you interact with, they might even are the so-called posers, they discreetly profile themselves with an angelic view, but when you engaged with an eye-to-eye or eyeball meet with them, HELL.. I advise you take a pepper spray or any stuffs for defense mechanism-purposes with you or else.


New Media, hello to bombastic civilization with outstanding methods of communication.
Have you ever thought why I actually posted this blog entitled as Wiki-media? Because that's how media are working as time goes by, it's easier, and pretty much convenient. It provides goodies and baddies. Things goes by so fast isn't? By the way, did you know that, Wiki means fast?
Wiki-Media it is. :)
