Old vs. New

How does one distinguish old media vs. new media? That is a great question. Some way to look at this are by asking is it transferable? Can others easily access it? In terms of transferability, old media was very limited. Today with new media anything can be shared with a person anywhere at anytime. With old media searching for information is limited, for example newspapers are outdated and unsearchable overnight. Today with new media we have access to information from the past and present at our fingertips. Has it gone too far?
