From the introduction, I understand the important of new media and it usefulness. So far I only ventured into Wikipedia to search for information. Other than this, all are new to me.
The way this media can connect people, pass and receive information and all sort of interaction, it's marvelous.
There's a survey conducted by Nee Ann Poly found that of the 510 Gen X and Y Singaporean,
42.6% of Gen Ys, i.e., teenagers and young adults, surveyed preferred the internet as a medium for getting news and information as compared to newspapers (25.2%). For the Gen X (defined by some as those born between 1964 and 1976, now in their mid 30s to mid 40s), it was the opposite – about 50% preferred newspapers as a medium as compared to the internet (about 23%). I in the Gen X and prefer to read newspaper.
Well done, my Gen X friend. Carry on with your newspaper, please.
