The Future of Old Media

The topic I want to research on is "The Future of Old Media." I will be talking about several aspects of old media, such as when the term "old media" was coined, when old media was considered "new media," and the road that lies ahead regarding old media. I will be presenting views from both sides, not just my own biases, such as old media becoming obsolete vs. old media traditions will last indefinitely. Old Media in contemporary terminology denotes radios, televisions, newspapers, etc... What categorizes these types of old media is that they lack the 5 C's, especially communication, collaboration and community. My aim will be focused on how these types of technology is becoming inferior to those that revolve around the usage of the internet, and potential outcomes of what is to become of old media.
