New Media

After studying the assigned reading 21st Century Communication: A Reference Handbook: Chapter 54: Traditional and New Media, and then reading "The Impact of New Media on Inter cultural Communication in Global Context" complete the following assignment by synthesizing the readings. Considering the statement "technologies are simply tools" write a short essay that incorporates answers to the following prompts:

A) Explain how that statement relates to the key words describing new media: "manipulate, converge, and instant."

B) How does the concept of intercultural impact of new media increase the complexity of the statement? You should especially consider the new experiences, for human beings that the convergences of new media and globalization bring about.

The response should be in 12pt type, at least 1-1.5 pages in length,1.5 line spacing. I suggest that you make sure that you have information on the second page to be safe and avoid loss of points.

Support your responses with research from the Learning Resources. Use APA in-text citations where necessary, and cite any outside sources that you use. Create an APA Bibliography at the end of your document
