Using new media as a means of communication

Means of communication have come a long way over time. We started off with mail, which took days maybe even weeks to relay a message. Now we are so advanced that it takes a matter of seconds to talk to someone that is over thousands of miles away. People can use Skype and Oovoo to hold conferences and keep in touch with loved ones and friends. Youtube can be used to post video blogs, giving people advice on different topics or just another way of communication period. There are sites that allow a person to send digital invites rather than mailing them physically. Also a person can post an event on facebook for their friends to see and decide if they'll attend or not New media has upgraded almost, if not every form of communication there is.

  1. I agree with you. New media has drastically changed the way in which we are able to communicate with others. Computers allow us to see and chat with other people hours away and even those in other countries. Social websites allow us to connect with friends and can also be used to promote ourselves and products. New media is constantly advancing and advancing how we are able to communicate with the world.
