Tutespark week one 02/08/10

Tutespark - week one
*How do we distinguish between old and new communication technologies? Under what circumstances will new communication technology become old communication technology?

* The way in which i beleive that we distinguish between old and new technologies is that old technologies were once new but now have been surpassed for a newer and more improved technology therefore making the previous technology be defined as old.

*The circumstances that cause new communication technologies to become old can be shown by an example. I use the example of television and radio, these were once new technologies and were beleived that they could not be improved any further.
*These devices have now been improved digitally which makes the traditional television and radio and old technology compared to the new digital revolution. The purposed of these devices are not used now the way that they were originally intended as old technologies, which was, radio was made to communicate directly to others and receive a reply. It is now mostly used for entertainment purposes.
*The television was also just used to broadcast entertainment and news programs. It now has many newer purposes such as it can act as a computer screen acess the internet, watch dvds, pause and record live tv with satelite and also there is a new technology of 3d tv which causes the older versions of tv to be surpased and classed as old.
