The age of permanent net revolution

~Endism is the perspective that sees new technologies as replacing older ones.
e.g CD roms replacing books
TV Replacing Radio ect.

~Media Ecosystem: The interactions between new and old media are complex. In science, an ecosystem is a dynamic system in which living organisms interact with one another and with their environment. The 'organisms' in our media ecosystem include broadcast and narrowcast television, movies, radio, print and the internet.

~Narrowcast TV: specialist content is aimed at subscription-based audiences and distributed via digital channels.

~The difference between the Web and the Internet is that the Web is enourmous, but its jsut one kind of traffic that runs on the internets tracks and signalling

~Push Pull mediums: Pull mediums - nothing comes to you unless you choose it, youre in charge, e.g. The Web. Push mediums - a select band of producers decide on the content, create it and push it at a passive audience, e.g. Television.

~Blogging- keeping an online diary - suggests that the traffic in ideas and cultrual products isnt a one way street, as it gives everyone access to publication media.
