The Effect of New Media on Society
New Media has affect society in so many ways and within so many areas. Depending on what area an individual is most expose to, he/she will know what kinds of new media has impact their lives. For instance, I'm a student and I felt that New Media affected education with advance applications and strategic techniques to assist students with their learning experience in or out of the classrooms. There might be a possibility that students would not have to go to class anymore but take online courses or have virtual classrooms where students disguise as avatars (since the MTA might plan to increase fare again, transportation going to be expensive). Another area which I'm also familiar with is New Media has also affect the marketing and advertising sectors of business. With the Internet, marketers have so many ways of reaching out to potential consumers. There are pop-up ads, contests & sweepstakes, promotional ads, and flashing banners. One way or another, they are trying to attain your information so they can bother you in the future.

I did agree with you in some aspects. For instance, you said that New Media has impacted society in many ways and many areas such as education, advertising, marketing, politics, and others. My concern is that even though New Media is an important tool for learning, I believe it would hardly replace the classroom (face to face) leraning. And most importantly, companies and other entities have a lot of doubt about online degrees. As we all know, with this financial crisis there will be a probable increase in MTA fare, but we have to cope with it and try to have some budget cut somewhere.
