The first and second chapters of the New Media book by
Terry Flew provide an inclusive overview or the widespread of certain forces
that keep changing the new media technologies. It entails to people and show
them that new media does not only look at forms of technologies but also the
social software side of it, like for instance being shaped by social, cultural,
political and economic environments in which they are developed and used.
In my opinion, I would say after reading the chapters I
was able to see the main aim behind it which was to show the history together
with the development of technology. The book is exquisite; it explains how the
new media bounds up with the concept of the internet and the World Wide Web.
Almost everyone is familiar with the internet and the World Wide Web so by
reading this book, one can be able to relate themselves with what is being said
by Terry Flew.
New media makes things simple because it has some
intriguing concepts that consumers find interesting. The book reveals the significance
of developing the WWW and this became more exciting when Marc Andreesen of NCSA
developed the mosaic as the first web browser.
