New media also can be referred as development of the conventional forms of media taking in a new shape with the advent of new technology. But the question that remains unanswered is it accessible to the entire mass or is it subjective to a certain class. Moreover how far are people satisfied with the usage of the latest developments.
Through the social networking sites people around the world seem to be well connected with each other. But somehow it feels all right at the face of it. In reality we are moving away from the inter-personal and intra-personal forms of communication. The latest studies prove that percentage of people communicating through internet hide more amount of truths than when one is chatting face-to-face.
The traditional models of communication gives room for intra personal (diaries), interpersonal (conversations between friends), group communication (conferences) and mass communication (newspaper and television) have been redefined and given a whole new look with palm pilots, mobile phones, video-conferences, e-newspapers and internet videos. Letters and board games have their technological counterparts: the e-mails and the video-games.
Human life today is becoming more and more dependant on technology. Everyone wants the job to be done faster and an easier way. But has’t it happened with all of you sometime or the other when you were trying to make an important presentation through power-point and suddenly there is some disorder in the computer or may be a power failure due to which the presentation got hampered or when u have to e-mail something important and networks have gone down and hence you were left with no other option but to make the situation favourable through the usage of human intelligence.
So, is the technology making human beings helpless in their thought procedures? Has it hampered the thinking potential of the common man? Are we becoming digitally handicapped? Some of these questions still remain unanswered.

Shraddha, This blog certainly puts us to seriously think how dependant we have become on our own inventions. You surely have put in real good questions which i think each of us have to sit and think about where we are heading with the Nu Media.
