The Impact Of New Media - Participation Based Interactions

The internet has brought with it ways of communicating beyond any barriers. After the advent of the internet, people became more media savvy and were interested in being treated as peers.

After years of work we slowly began to see a transition, as new ways of working and new concepts of technology were emerging - the concept of open-source development like Linux, and transparent trading like Ebay, and simple file downloads like Napster came into existence. Napster, by the way, was sued by the music industry for copyright violations in 2001. We all know the industry’s reaction to Napster - it’s interesting to see how many more Napster-like services or software have since then taken birth in each and every field or industry online. Should they all be sued? Or should newer business models evolve around this dynamic? The transition hasn’t been easy for companies or people alike. Licenses like the “Creative Commons” have been created to add security and encourage sharing.

Since then the way social platforms are created, interlinked and expanded accelerated a great deal, until where we are today.
