In this blog we are going to explain how the newspaper has evolved throughout its history and how it has changed. We hope you enjoy it!
Newspaper evolution
To explain the newspaper evolution is important to know what the mass media is.
The mass media is maybe the most important clue that has changed the way to precede the information. It is a set of elements that trough them the information is reported massively to the society. It is the way trough which the information is collected, processed and communicated.
The first method of communication that born in the society is the capacity to remember histories that old generations told, and those histories are remembered and retold to the new generations. It was an oral method.
In that oral stage, people have improved in the society and in language. There was a shift when the man created the writing and the media that endure: in that way it appears the writing and printing. The newspaper starts to be very used in the society, everyday news were explained for them in the mass media.
The new technologies development affected and affect nowadays to all the mass media. Computing and the Internet have improved and optimized the production process and the mode of transmission of news.
Is in that decade when the computer becomes the owner of the industrial production of paper. Also nowadays is the same in electronic newsrooms, conducting plates for printing, etc. that is all controlled by the computer.
New instruments have born to obtain information from electronic mail, satellite signals, cell phones and digital cameras among other resources have transformed the traditional print media.
The digital newspaper like an interactive tool
Nowadays, in our society there is the traditional newspaper and the digital newspaper. The digital newspaper is characterized by his interactivity with the users. We talk about interactivity because it offers a few interactive contents, that is to say, multimedia contents (images, videos, texts…) that allow that the reader should participate more actively.
In the digital newspaper we can find interactive tools as the hypertext (links). A digital newspaper has more text contents than multimedia contents. These contents update in relation to when the news happens. So, the structure of a digital newspaper is hierarchic because the contents are arranged from a bigger importance to a minor importance.
The digital newspaper presents readers' letters, e-mails of contact, forums, surveys and interviews. In a digital newspaper we can find access to versions of the diary printed in format PDF. A good thing of the digital newspaper it is that it can store a lot of information whereas the traditional not; and something bad is that the reader has few opportunities to take part in the production of the news.
Advantages and disadvantages of the digital newspaper
The online newspaper has many advantages over traditional newspaper. First of all we should note that online newspapers add a lot of tools that add information to the news. The tools give to the reader more information and understanding of the news. The traditional newspaper only has texts and some images, the online newspaper add videos, surveys, lector’s comments, etc. It makes easier the act of read the newspaper.
Another advantage is the price. Read the newspaper online means not to pay anything. However, we have to pay some money to read a traditional newspaper. So this is another factor to choose the online newspaper.
The next advantage is the new attitude of the lectors. They can give their opinion and discuss her point of view with the other lectors. It’s another think that traditional newspaper can’t offer.
Another factor is the convenience. It’s more convenient to choose what you want to read with a click of your mouse than search the content you want to read on the pages of the newspaper. However stay a lot of hours in front of the screen is bad for our eyes.
The advance of technology has been widely criticized by society. Like everything else, it has a positive part and another that is more negative. Some people are in favor and the other part of society that is against.
ResponderEliminarWhat this picture wants to show are the lengths to which the new technology could arrive in a proximate future.
In the United Estates ther are schools in which the new methods of technology are applied and this is what regulates the education and the classes of the students, instead of teachers.
The popular buzz says that interactive whiteboards, netbooks, smartphones, and tablets such as the iPad2 will tranform K-16 education. States and local school districts have created a range of virtual schools, and these are increasing in number. For example, this state offers a "virtual advantage" in the form of the North Carolina Virtual Public School. There are opportunities for students with special needs to receive instruction on-line, too.
We are arriving to a point where technology is the main way that instruct us one way or another.
The posibility of the influence of the technology in a little future is really high. This is exactly what this image wants to display: how the traditional media is advancing and these techers of schools are becoming robots.
People who are in favor of the technological advances defend that they are importat in tearms of easy access to the information more quikly, the comfort involved, etc.
Perhaps they are not concious of the extreme in which this advances are able to arrive.

As we can see, the photo has three different images; those images present a robot person. This says that in a not very distant future the technology increasingly will grow up. But, this is good or bad?
ResponderEliminarThe technology advantage always has been criticized by the society. That can be positive or negative for the people; who doesn’t want a robot in his house?
The bad thing of all that is that it will come a moment in which we couldn’t be able to difference what is a person and what is robot with a human body. It’s a hypothesis but we have to consider that nobody has said that it couldn’t happen.
Nowadays, we are coming up to a higher point in the technology, let's see so the example of the image, how the traditional way is advancing towards new horizons.
