Week 8 - Journal 2 abstract

In this article Livingstone takes a look at how the new media scene is developing and what it is doing to influence society. She states that as long as media is gradually progressing and changing, people should not find it difficult to cope, as new media culture is not actually new! What Livingstone means by this, is that it is not as though society has been suddenly bombarded with loads of new forms of media and incredulous internet expansion, but it has been a slow progression, allowing everyone to develop their skill around it. Although it is quick and constant change, it does not change society, or the economy but challenges it.
