Old v. New

We distinguish old media from new media by how easily the information can be processed, change and interpret that information. Myspace, Facebook and even Wiki are some examples of new media and how easily information could be changed and shared with many people at the same time. Old media is information that can be shared with everyone but is much harder to change. Books are one example of old media that used to be new media. That information is harder to change when there is a mistake present.
