What are new Media? - Second class out of 2

Today's maxim: "We've gotta be pioneers!"

Definitions we have to know.
- connotation & denotation: Denotation as in poetry is the literal meaning of a word, and connotation is the suggestive meaning of a word.


in the modernism period
- New is good thing.
- People believed that technology helps people although people in 1940 or 50's suspected it because of the atom booms.
- New means cutting-edge, Avant-gardes and the place for forward-thinking people.
- Technology can increase productivity and educational oppurtunity.
- Also, it can open up new creatives and communication horizons.
"Believe it, but also suspect what you believe at the same time!!"

- Ideology: set of idea which can change people.

- Globalization is a westerner's term, not easterner's.
- Moreover, it has a limitation because of the language diferences.

Watching video: 다빈치 project(KBS special)
- Technology + Arts -> demand creativity -> it's leading people to the new world.

Q1. Why are technology(or science) and arts being combined?
- Actaully people have thought that two of them were totally different things. However, as the number of trying to combine these things are increasing, people who are involved in that field have been finding something new which hasn't been ever discovered.

Q2. What's the meaning of 'new' for me?
- 'New' means something which hasn't ever existed, is raising awareness, and has possibility that it will be developed more.
