Innovations in Writing for New Media

Writing is a process from humans to tell others what they know and what they want you to know. In traditional writing, there are lot of limitations of the information, writers and readers. However, new methods in writing have great innovations for us to remove these limitations.

Multimodal & Efficiency
First, peoples only use texts to represent the words without any photos or images in explanation. Moreover, all of the words are linear and sequential. Peoples always need to jot down the unknown terms and find the definition after read the whole chapter. This is the inefficiency ways in reading we did it before.

Nowadays, we are going to give up the old methods and change to use others. For describe our messages, we can also use image, sound or video to make them easy for understanding but not just text only. Moreover, hypertext is the new method in our writings. We use hypertext to refer the explanations from other writers directly. Therefore, the readers are no longer to read the whole chapter again before finding the detail information of the words. These methods make the information to become a huge dynamic library on the Internet which likes Wikipedia.

Higher Range of Information Sharing & Knowledge Accuracy
Second, in the last generation, only a small group of peoples can publish the writings which of them were working for news, famous persons or the peoples in high-level positions. Some of their words are bullshit or not realistic.

Luckily, for this generation we have a lot of new technology to growth up our wisdom. Web 2.0 as Forum, Blogs, Facebook and Twitter is the new platforms for all of us to become the writers and no longer the small groups again. We can share everything, such as data, knowledge and experience. We put our heads together and come up with something more effective and accuracy.

Why Writing for New Media is so important?
Writing for new media is extremely important for us because I totally believe that time is money and knowledge is power. If everyone doesn’t share knowledge, the knowledge is limited. However, what if everyone can share a bit of knowledge, this knowledge will become stronger, useful and unlimited. That’s why the business organizations request the staffs group up a team because they also believe one plus one may more than two. For example, I am the only one with experience of web programming in my team of other course. The course requests us to develop a website for e-commerce with a lot of functions. However, the web server of the department is not available for publish dynamic web-page as asp or jsp which can show different content of the same page. However, we found an experience sharing post on the Internet and it let us to realize an impossible mission in the short time and it let our page not become the fake page like others with just using the photos to present the functions.

The point I want to emphasize is the information of people shared on the Internet may not be useful in the real time but they may become a medicine for the late knowledge seekers. Therefore, if we are keeping sharing our knowledge, it will be a big impact to the next generation to have better than the best wisdom. Moreover, the fastest the time for seeking knowledge, resource on Internet is the best way for us.
