New Media

What is new media? It can be defined as social media or internet (web 2.0) technologies. They can be characterized as communication, collaboration, community, creativity and convergence. New media such as Facebook, Twitter and Myspace helps us communicate through the air. We don’t have to necessarily meet with someone who we would like to talk to. However, it is missing the physical side which is the only downside of it. It has more positive aspects, for instance, it makes the world smaller place than it was before. Now people can live anywhere in the world and still be connected to each other. For example, I am always able to keep in touch with my family and friends from Czech Republic on Facebook or Skype. New Media provides us with an easy access to anything we are interested in. We can use Blogs to post any articles; moreover, we can share pictures on the internet and do so many other things. I believe that new media is great way for us to make our lives easier.
