In a world where companies are racing to provide consumers with a new, innovative way of doing old things, it's sometimes hard to imagine what life was like even ten years ago. Many of us can count the number of handwritten letters we've written on one hand and even fewer of us can remember the days where we weren't able to DVR our favorite television programs. For my project, I'd like to take a look at what the future holds for what we now consider "old media". By old media, we'll consider print journalism and radio as opposed to the internet and blogs/wikis. With all of this commotion about "new media", will we really see "old" media wither away? I guess we'll find out.
The steady innovations that businesses are taking on in the digital world is fascinating to see. Marketing has completely taken on a whole different light due to these up and coming media sites constantly being created. Best of luck writing your paper.
ReplyDeleteI still think there is a place in businesses for old media, but only specific kind of businesses... either way i'm sure your research paper will cover that and i look forward to reading it and seeing your progress.
ReplyDeleteWhen the VCR player and VHS tapes first came out in the 1970s, the Japanese company JVC thought this product would last for a hundred years. They invested so much in the product. Less than 30 years later, we have DVDs and digital files that were able to store and play video. I am pretty sure most of us have a VCR player just sitting there in our homes for the past 10 years.
ReplyDeleteNew media may be taking over right now but there is still a place for old media. I'm sure in your research you will find some interesting articles about old media. Good luck on your research paper.
ReplyDeleteI am quite interested to see where old media is headed and whether or not some parts of it will survive while others will disappear entirely. I would imagine old media will still exist in some fashion in the future.
