Old vs. New

There are many several ways we can distinguish new media from old media. First we can see if any technique has digital changed how something was done. An example would be reading newspapers, instead of physically holding printed newspapers and reading them, you can easily read them online. Another way to distinguish new media from old media is to see if such media affects a majority of the current population and has never been created, if so, then it would be considered new media. Thirdly, you should ask has the media provided any convenience of how a task can be done now, that it was done before? For example, instead of getting photos developed, it has been more convenient with digital photography today as you are able to print at home and upload it on your computer. New media are digital ways that have changed society and that has not existed years ago. These are all ways in which it can be distinguished in today's society.
