https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/dec/26/do-i-need-to-get-snapchat-and-would-you-please-explain-it-to-me
This article is talking about snapchat, the app which those who are in their teenage years use so religiously was originally created for those who are over the age of 30. Over 150 million people a day are using snapchat. Snapchat has created all of these new filters and ways to keep the app alive and more entertaining for people to use.
This shows the likelihood of people who are younger are more likely to use apps which appeal to them more regardless of the age bracket of the initial target audience because they're more inclined to go on their phones and social media which differentiates the generations.

Weekly New/Digital Media Homework 23/12/16
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/dec/19/how-tv-news-failed-to-keep-up-in-2016
TV has been in trouble recently and this is because of the Internet. There has been a rapid decline in the amount of people who are watching TV news and this is a resulting affect of the introduction to social media. Social media is a more convenient scource for people who are younger as they can go out and get news whenever they're free rather than waiting around until 6 to view the news on BBC for example.
I think that's the impact on tv news is a negative one but I also think that people need to be updated and informed on news stories whenever they're out which is why social media is a good place for this to happen and for people to get news whenever they need it.

Grand Tour is the most illegally downloaded TV programme, viewers have downloaded up to millions of copies due to online streaming. Amazon have Potentially lost £3.2million because of this as people aren't paying for the full service which they can receive for free.
This is a prime example of people taking advantage of the online services we have and abusing them for their own self purpose. This is why we have started to see a decline in the number of newspapers, albums sold, purchasing of films and TV series. As people continue to do this it will be harder to generate more revenue but become normal for people to expect things for free.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/dec/04/paywalls-come-down-readers-flood-in-not-advertising-revenue
People who are getting on their phones to go and check the news everyday are making the institutions lose out on money. This is due to the paywall coming down and this then means people are getting news for free so there is no need to pay.
This is a result of news becoming free so that the wuality of journalism is going to decrease as a result because no one is paying the journalists to do their work. This is also causing a decline in traditional media platforms and people will just expect news for free because it is more convenient.

China have always had a firewall which stops the people of their nation from accessing certain material online. This is seen to protect them but also blind them from what is going on around the world. Russia have also made it clear that they're not going to follow in the footsteps of China by putting up a firewall.
I think that this is a good thing because people need to access the internet for certain reasons and its wrong for the government to restrict the knowledge that people have. People won't be aware of what is going on and will be alienated.

Children have had their privacy invaded without the consent of their parents because of the dolls that they've bought. The dolls have been equipped with equipment which is able to detect what is being said and recorded. There has been a number of complaints which have been sent to FTC.
I think that the advances of technology have caused eveyone to lose that privacy to their lives because it's normal to share all your information and data to be seen as someone who's active on social media websites such as Facebook where adverts are there to promote specific items to you based on your history.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/complex-media-shuts-down-print-magazine-after-14-years-a7462346.html
Complex magazine started during the year 2002 and more after 14 years they're going to stop producing the magazine. The last issue is due to end in 2017 and may switch most of their content to being online.
I feel that this is a result of advances in new and digital media as it has now started to cut off traditional media platforms. Due to this it's harder for these traditional platforms to offer something different which allows readers to still buy the product rather than getting eveything online for free.
