New media are forms of media that are native to computers, computational and rely on computers for redistribution. Some examples of new media are telephones, computers, virtual worlds, single media, website games, human-computer interface, computer animation and interactive computer installations.

New media are often contrasted to “old media”, such as television, radio, and print media, although scholars in communication and media studies have criticized rigid distinctions based on oldness and novelty. New media does not include television programs (only analog broadcast), feature films, magazines, books,  – unless they contain technologies that enable digital generative or interactive processes

Media is an important part of our life now, it is playing a very important role in every way of life. It connects us with the scenarios in the world and informs us many things like news, history, entertainment etc.  Which helps us lot in being an upgraded personality.

There was a time when man used to know nothing about the happenings in this world, his outer knowledge was just up to his backyard or village. But as time passes, things discovered and new ideas and thoughts invented things like camera, satellite, microphone, etc. These things made life easy for every single individual living in this world. Man was being updated day by day and minute by minute from each and every news.

Now in this time, media is so vast that we just need to turn on our televisions by pressing a button and we get all the knowledge that we want or even just by searching on search engines on the internet we get each and every information regarding, news, history, geography, music and entertainment and many more and for this the good and common example we have is Google. We can find each and everything or any kind of news and updates by just writing the name on this search engine and on the next second we can see the news and information about that particular subject.

Media helps in bringing the true facts and information of the world in front of our eyes. If there was no media, then there was life but without any information and knowledge.

The Evolution of Traditional to New Media

Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700s)

People discovered fire, developed paper from plants, and forged weapons and tools with stone, bronze, copper and iron. Examples:Papyrus in Egypt (2500 BC)

Industrial Age (1700s-1930s)

People used the power of steam, developed machine tools, established iron production, and the manufacturing of various products (including books through the printing press) Examples: Newspaper- The London Gazette (1640)

Electronic Age (1930s-1980s)

The invention of the transistor ushered in the electronic age. People harnessed the power of transistors that led to the transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. In this age, long distance communication became more efficient. Examples: Transistor Radio

Information Age (1900s-2000s)

The Internet paved the way for faster communication and the creation of the social network. People advanced the use of microelectronics with the invention of personal computers, mobile devices, and wearable technology. Moreover, voice, image, sound and data are digitalized. We are now living in the information age. Examples: Video: YouTube (2005)

“TRADITIONAL TO NEW”

Prehistory :

We need to consider and give emphasize from prehistoric age into digital age because of new innovations from the simplest going to complex invention. Without this era that passing by, there’s no new technologies that occur at the present in for the next generation.

The world of technology continues to change bring many changes. It can be quite confusing for students, especially when it comes to the news media. People hear news over the radio, television, and even their computers.Most technologies described as “new media” are digital, and often have characteristics of being networkable, dense, compressible, interactive and impartial. Examples are the internet, websites, computer multimedia, games, CD-ROMs and DVDs. Young people are attracted to the easy means of getting information with internet based terminals or hand phones which provide them information of their choice anytime, anywhere.

Both media platform serve the same target audience be it online, in print or broadcast. As mentioned, each form of media has an objective which is to disseminate a particular message and keep the masses informed. However, for those whom purposes resemble each other, they have same target audience to cater to and thus, garnering the same audience. They key success, if new media is to ever succeed traditional media, is advanced technology in internet. Although social networking through new media has increased crime rates, it is one of the shortcomings that can be eradicated. With technology, new media has definitely exceeded the abilities of traditional media as an advertising alternative and smoothened the process of gathering concrete information for news articles.

Old is gold. But that does not mean that new changes should be overlooked or even cast aside. It will be beneficial for RTM to tap ways to respond to the global financial crisis and changes in demand, so as to enhance its role in society.

The History of New Media

We are at the very beginning of a transformative communications revolution where technology has enabled the "un-tethering" of the masses from fixed communications points. The cell phone, lap top computer and wireless Internet have made communications mobile and persistent.

In this timeline, we are going to discuss the evolution of media generation to generation.This include how media is used during the Pre- Industrial age, Industrial age, Information age. and Electronic age.

The Evolution of New Media

In our world where technology has been prominent, people have always relied on communication to strengthen their relationships. Interacting with friends and family across long distances has been achieved through media. Media has been convenient in people’s lives today and looking back to how it was developed says a lot about how the world changed since technology has been adopted.

Tracing back to the roots of media, it was said that the earliest methods of communicating across great distances used written correspondence delivered by hand from one person to another. In other words, they used letters. These letters were sent through postal services which started in 550 B.C.

In 1792, the telegraph was invented. This allowed messages to be delivered over a long distance faster and was considered a revolutionary way to convey news and information.

In 1890, the telephone was invented. A year after, in 1891, the radio was invented. Telephone lines and radio signals enabled people to communicate across great distances instantaneously.

In the 1940s, computers were invented. A machine that was used as a medium to use media efficiently.  In the 1960s, the earliest form of the internet was developed. Following a decade later, in the 1970s, Advanced technologies have been developed and the decade was known as the “Age of Technology”.

In the 1980s, New media started. Where means of communication was achieved through digital technologies such as the Internet. From then on, other media were developed. Google was created in 1998. Facebook was created in 2004 and Youtube in 2005. And in 2010, new forms of social media were developed.

The Media has influenced individuals on their way of living especially today that technology is widely used. It has helped people live an efficient and convenient life.

Media refers to the tools of mass communication. Media today consists of television, Internet, cinema, newspapers, radio, magazines, direct mail, fax, and the telephone. Viewers can see some form of pictorial representation of messages through certain types of broadcasting and advertising. Images are visual representations, pictures, graphics, and include video, movies. Images are very useful in media to help get across messages effectively.

Media influence has become so powerful today that they can easily influence people positively and/or negatively. We also live in a society that depends on the media as a source of entertainment and information. Indeed, the media images affect both individuals and society which includes women, men, teenagers and younger children.

Today, our life will remain incomplete without media. For example, it provides an easy means of communication where people are able to contact friends and family from another side of the world. At the same time, media like television, radio and the Internet enhance our knowledge by providing access to information from all over the world. We can also receive different types of news or daily events through media, almost instantly, for example, through the Internet.

Generally, media has really played its role in each of us. The use of media can be both positive and negative to the individual or society. In a positive way, media makes our lifestyle easier, for example, we can get to know what is going on out there, locally or globally, within a short space of time. Even though there are so many benefits from media, we have to be careful not to let them influence us unknowingly. We need to be wise when using the media.

Affiliations: Pledging Life to be Hazed for Passage

Call it what you may – an old-school tradition, a requirement to fulfill, a cure for boredom, or simply a nonchalant way to fit into the standards of society. If you look at it twice, one word does not tend to fit into the group – nonchalant. It is ironic to think that such a nonchalant reason to fit into something could turn out to not fitting in at all. Nonchalant is giving no care or no worries about everything. In short, it is embarking on something in a relaxed and calm way without putting into consideration the possible outcomes it may bear.  Point is, hazing is and will never be a nonchalant topic or an activity to discuss. Hazing has been an alarming problem ever since and is continuing to escalate as new ways of doing it continues to peak at a rampant rate. Such a bittersweet reality that we cannot deny having, and we cannot turn a blind eye against it. In fact, we shouldn’t. This issue is a matter of the future of the children of the world. If they are to be exposed in an environment basked in violence and hate, the future of this world could potentially be devastating, and the chances of regaining peace and coherence could be slim.

Numbers don’t lie. Glaring statistics from the University of Dayton, Ohio show that 1.5 million high school students are being hazed each year with at least 47 percent of students come to college already having experienced hazing. And 55 percent of college students that are involved in clubs, teams, and organizations experience hazing. That is in the United States alone, how much more worldwide? If we were to expound of what hazing is all about, it is defined as an action or situation to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule (Lehigh University), or in short, it is to induce violence to someone as an assurance of total loyalty and longtime membership to a particular group, fraternity, or sorority. In the Philippines, at least 31 deaths caused by hazing were recorded since 1954 and 15 percent of these deaths involved 17 fraternities, mostly from learning institutions, universities, and colleges.  The stigma that this had caused did not leave every organization; whether school or community based, unscathed. Because of hazing, people are afraid to join such as they fret whether they had to be physically, emotionally and mentally scarred just to be in their organization of interest or not. It doesn’t have to be this way, it mustn’t be.

               Violence is never the answer to vow someone’s loyalty, cooperation, and dedication to an affiliation as these take time to develop and should require genuine and strong relationships within the members of the group. Hazing will only make matters worse as it would damage a person’s dignity and well-being to the extent that the consequences are so severe that it couldn’t be resisted anymore. It is true that providing a well-rounded atmosphere for newbies by the old members is essential to creating and fortifying bonds within the group, but this process needs a price to be paid. Hazing may come in different variations, but they all intersect at one point – dignity is degraded. Lots of people had indeed paid the price for pledging their lives for the sake of entering a group. Now, would you do the same? Think about it.

Hazing

Hazing has grown to become a major social problem. Hazing has caused many deaths and mostly of them is college student because hazing has been a common practice across college campus. But what is hazing all about? Why did this problem become serious?

Hazing is any action taken or any situation created intentionally that causes embarrassment, harassment or physical harm to members of a group of a member. Hazing has often been thought to exist primarily in fraternities and sororities.

This problem become serious because hazing causes many deaths. Not only does it kill innocent people, it mocks, embarrasses, and tortures them. This causes physical, mental and emotional harm or distress.

To end this problem we need to treat everyone equal and we need to provide information to the community about hazing.

SAVE EARTH!

Forests are important to us. We depend on it. We need forests for us to survive. Forests give us food, and wood we used for furnitures, and any other things. Most importantly, it gives us the air we breathe

If you will think, what if forests keep on burning? Could we still survive? Maybe yes maybe no. Burning of forests release a huge amount of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide will be trapped in our atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide the more hot will be the earth. Trees inhales carbon dioxide. If there's no trees, we might be similar to venus and life on earth would not exist.

Now, how do we prevent forest fires? Can we prevent forest fires? Actually, we can't. We can't prevent forest fires because it is naturally caused. If it's manmade, maybe we can. Although some of it are manmade, most of it are naturally caused. The only solution to this problem is planting trees. If we keep on planting trees, more carbon dioxide will be inhaled, and heat on earth will be lessen. Our life is important, so is earth. Let's plant trees and save earth!

PROCRASTINATION

        Procrastination is one of the most common social issues especially for the students, it happened a lot especially on making the task given by your teacher and must be done a head of time and all you do was nothing because you have though that it must be early to make your task. So instead of doing it, they used to play and watch movies for their leisure. Procrastination is also one of the cause of depression especially it tends to make you feel anxious of doing your task very late.

          It tends to feel us depressed when we did lots of task and we faced lots of problems. Depression is the most common issues that mostly teenagers are affected by this and somehow lots of people committed suicidal. Depression is when everything feels too hard. When you feel so low that things you previously enjoyed no longer hold that same joy. You wonder how you ever enjoyed anything at all. You wonder what other people have that you can’t get a hold of. You find it harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. You drag yourself through each day. You find it difficult to go to bed at night. That low is low that it seems to take over, overwhelming you in a way that you could not have imagined beforehand. The effort to do the small things is huge. The pressure to do is even bigger. People always say you should talk someone, to tell someone, but how do you put words on something so hard to even understand yourself? How do you explain to someone that you want to live your life but also you don’t know how you can? How do you explain that this is no longer feels like a choice, that it controls you not the other way around?.

        On order to overcome these problems we must first learn and know how to discipline ourselves and learn from our mistakes because it makes us to motivate ourselves to overcome our fears and challenges in lives. Avoid procrastination because theirs no benefit we can get from it and to it. We must start doing our task now before it’s too late to regret it. Change will start from within ourselves and by that all things will gonna work out if you will also believe in yourself that you can make it happen.

DEPRESSION(Suicide)

Imagine yourself being trapped in the middle of haplessness. It's like all the heavy things are being poured on you and you can't escape. All you could think of is darkness and sadness. Sometimes, it leads to the thinking that the great escape for these trials is to end life. Wanting to cut the stress of overthinking about how would we be able to handle everything. Can't even see a little hope and light. So depressing, right?

If you want to know, Depression is a case which affects the way you feel, the way you think and how you act. Some symptoms of having this kind of disorder include the feeling of sadness or having a depressed mood, feeling of worthlessness, loss of interest in almost everything, difficulty in thinking, concentrating or making decisions and having the thoughts of death or suicide. There are really a lot of factors that will cause Depression especially that we're facing reality right now. We couldn't even think properly because our minds are already filled with confusions, worries and stress. But then, we have come to realize that ending something isn't always the answer for our woes. Those challenges of ours are always part of living life. It could even help us grow and transform into someone braver than we could imagine as long as we know how to handle them. Life is hard. Yes, but it will not always be the reason to give up. This is not the time to give up because something is really special in facing those challenges. We'll only know that once we witness how it greatly moved our life.

Well, let's just remember that no situation is hopeless. Don't let your emotions control you. If life really gets rough, then, just continue to look on the bright side even if you're already surrounded with darkness. If you think suicide is the key then, you're perfectly wrong. Just think that each of our life is precious. We are just given trials to discover our capabilities. Don't forget that you have God and you always have someone whom you can share your feelings and thoughts with,so just continue life.

Global Warming

          Global warming is a very common issue in our recent era but why do people still ignore this? It may be the most observable social issue but only few people care about this. It is the issue that destroys our world slowly yet consistently, but is global warming really the issue? or it is just another outcome of humanity’s ignorance towards the earth.

           Let me tell you some of the different converging lines of evidence on how humanity caused this disaster. First is the increase in carbon dioxide, As I’ve read in our earth science book about dangerous hazards. One evidence of this is the timing of this warming coincides with the Industrial Revolution, when humans first began massive deforestation and released carbon dioxide by burning coal, gas, and oil. Second is the melting of polar ice caps, In news that I heard, most of the species living in the ice region of the earth are going extinct and there is only one explanation to it. It is the abrupt change of temperature which dealt a great damage to their health and the melting of their only habitat. The last evidence is the rise of sea level, It is mainly caused of the melting of ices, which increases the water level in the ocean that could endanger lands that are below sea level.

           As you can observe on my evidences of how humans are the main factors of the cause of global warming, All of it are somehow connected. If carbon dioxide increases it warms up the earth, and if the earth warms up the polar caps in the north and south pole will melt, which results to more water or what we call the increase in sea level. Nowadays people thinks that just a piece of garbage in the sea will not cause anything, No they are wrong. We must have the mentality to always do the right things even if we are the only one’s doing it. With just this mentality, we can save our own race and our own world because If we learn to care for our surrounding then we are caring for ourselves.
