NEW MEDIA

Ever since the beginning of the new millennium, there has been a wave of new technology and new uses for technology on the internet that is referred to as new media. This new media is beginning to overpower the television, newspapers and the radio, as well as many other past forms of media, as the new wave of media that is available to the general public. Some examples of new media are websites like myspace, youtube and hulu.com. These websites offer modern ways of entertainment and involve the newer types of technology, mailny the internet. Many people have claimed that old media will soon die because of this rush of new media. Though it is highly unlikely that this is true, there is no debate that new media represents the wave of the future.

The Brooklyn Nets and The New Coney Island

I personally cannot wait until the Nets basketball franchise moves to Brooklyn from New Jersey. It will be the first professional sports franchise to move to Brooklyn in over 20 years. I have lived in Brooklyn for over 15 years and I love living there. The only thing that Brooklyn is missing is its own sporting franchise. When the Nets move to Brooklyn it will make huge economic progress in Brooklyn and will potentially open the door for more sporting franchises to move to Brooklyn. I'm also very excited about the redevelopment project that will start in Coney Island. The project was made to modernize Coney Island in order to make it a major attraction again.When Coney Island opened, it attracted an immense amount of revenue and tourism for the borough and made a huge impact. Hopefully the project will bring back the great progress of the past.
