There is not a moment of time that goes by where life is not evolving and changing. In recent years especially, as soon as the population was granted access to media we have eaten it up in all forms, and craved more and more as time went on. That is how it goes, once we have some new technology or new way of absorbing information we immediately seek the new and the better. Thusly we create a situation that forces old things out and new things in. However we never really forget dated forms of media, we just use them in different ways, and merge them with whatever is new.
We are the driving force of the change, and if we did not like it we would not do it. So it is obvious that there is something about the human condition that prompts us to push for change and innovation. And part of our history that gets left in the dust is simply a casualty of advancement, and we readily accept this because we continue to crave new and better ways to access media. In the recent past the way we consume media is changing, and that is because we are demanding it more and more as time passes.
We want faster access to everything with non wait time, we want the world at our fingertips, and it is. The cost of that convenience is just something we have to come to grips with. And we must realize that we are not really losing anything, perhaps bits and pieces along the way, but what we had in the past is just being adapted and looked at in different ways. That was the summation of the entire reading, that we never truly lose what we had in the past, new media just reshapes that of the past and moves us onward and allows us to discover new things.
