*Are you connected?*

In this week's exclusive blog post, let's deal with the technology in today's generation. On my quest to explore the meanings of NEW MEDIA and what it has done to the society, I found myself falling in love with multi-tasking my eyes, ears and fingers. So, are you connected?

Google the meaning NEW MEDIA and you'll be directed to the WIKI page. So, what does NEW MEDIA mean?

The answer:
Distinctively different from the OLD MEDIA, this new media term we've been hearing about is all about a new form of human and media communication via digital format. Yes, media! What is media? As you know, media is a plural form of medium... Medium such as print, television and radio... These are the old form of media... Right now, with the advancement of technology and the world wide web, you could do anything with the media.

Scenario:

Getting your daily juice of gossip but you're away from any newspaper stands? If you're sitting in front of a computer, click the word 'gossip' and you found yourself spoiled for choices. Just like standing in the middle of a shopping mall full of fast food restaurants and which do you pick? McDonald's? A good gossip is like McDonald's, upsize or a Happy Meal, and you'll get Perez Hilton entertaining your bored life - provided you know who's who in the media world, okay.

What's the latest trend and how can I dress like Mischa Barton? Click trends and there you have it! STYLE.COM brings you the best in fashion and lifestyle trends.

I can't watch HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX 'cos I ain't got enough cash. HELP! Oh well, internet is the saviour! With various websites that offer you the latest in movies, talk shows, etc, you're so in luck, dahling!

With my Diploma in New Media at hand - specializing in Media and Entertainment - there is nothing impossible in creating my own portal for music, films, gossips, fashion and all the blah blah blah and the rah rah rah 'cos all you need is someone who knows the chips, the java, the scripts and the codes. Yes, put it all together and you'll spell out html.

If you're thinking of Java Chip Frappacino from Starbucks (yumm) shoot yourself in your head!

Oh! Did I mention that if you're away from restaurants, etc, now you can order online too!


That part, you go explore yourself... No more spoonfeeding anymore! teehee. ciao!
