In this essay the writer talks about how Social media will one day succeed traditional media because of the differences in the freedom of speech and the speed of broadcasting.
There are a lot of similarities in new media and traditional media. Both are there to get you informed and let you know what is going on around the world or what is the latest style. You see full page ads for all kinds of products in traditional media just like you see banners and pop ups in new media.
This article goes on the talk about the differences and similarities in new and traditional media. While new media is built upon traditional media it is definitely the better form and soon traditional media will no longer be available. I find this to be very sad. I like to have something tangible to hold in my hands and traditional media gives us this. We are able to flip through pages of a magazine or read the funnies in the sunday paper. New media today seems hurried, making you feel like you need to rush through things. Traditional media has a more relaxed feeling to it, when you think of reading a newspaper you think about sitting back in the morning with your coffee leisurely reading the paper.
In my personal opinion I hope that traditional media never dies and will always be around.
