New Media: We are still evolving! Whatâs next?
Change is the only constant thing in this world. People change every day, we like to discover things to make our world better. Technology is a big part of our lives. With technology, we reached so many achievements and it made our lives easier, but how did we get here? Long before we discovered technology, our ancestors used their five senses as their main skill to survive their lives. Because of them, we evolved and reached pre-industrial age. This is when prehistoric cave paintings were made and critical thinking skill was developed among the people living in that era. We then entered a new era called industrial age. Industrial age is when people could create and invent things like typewriter and mechanisms that were developed and improved in that era.  After the industrial age, we entered electronic age where electronic computing, the ones that amplify electric signals and power, were invented. Many things that are still used until now like radio and television were invented in this era. Now, we have entered a new era called information age. Â
Have you noticed something? As we improve and develop our skills, our technology also evolved! The things that people did in the past eras affected our growth. Why am I telling you this? I am stating these facts because new media is theorized to eventually replace print and broadcast media. Yes, our technology is evolving and we may achieve greater things, but we shouldnât replace or forget what made us get here. Before all of this, all we had is print media and broadcast media. We didnât have internet, mobile phones, and all these other gadgets that we have now. Print media and broadcast media helped us a lot in gathering information so we shouldnât forget them even though weâre growing. Our ancestors did their best, with their limited materials and skills, to discover things. Even when they failed, they never gave up. Â Whom did they do this for? For us? Â For you? Do you believe that we can create or invent new things? Cause we are perpetual being so that we can create or develop new thing? Do you believe? I believe that we can create and invent new things, because when we discover things, we also evolve. We never know, maybe in the future we already invented many things we canât even imagine.
