In Goebbels speech he places heavy emphasies on the wastage of power of radio on distracting "the masses from the difficulties of our national and social life through games and entertainment"
He understood the radio to have "great and intellectual and spiritual impact on the masses" therefore felt it would be a great way to communicate the views and opinions of the Nazis.
Goebbels reference to the rise of the Nazis as the "German Revolution" and how it would not have been possible without the radio demonstartes his strong believe in the power of this form of communication. He states, “radio is the most influential and important intermediary between a spiritual movement and the nation”. He understood the medium of radio's impact could significant influence the masses into joining the rise to power.

MUDs + MOOs
MUDS & MOOs are a form of communcative devices.
A MUD (Multiple User Dimension) is a computer program which users can log into and explore. Each user takes control of a computerized persona / avatar / incarnation / character. You can walk around, chat with other characters, solve puzzles, and create your very own rooms, descriptions and items. MUDs are usually more social in orientation. The players on these types of MUDs tend to chat, meet friends, make jokes, and discuss various topics.
MOOsMOO is an acronym for Multi-user-dungeon Object Oriented. MOOs are fully interactive societies in which you can role play, or project your real self, as you wish. Its most common use is as a multi-participant, virtual reality adventure game with players from all over the world. You can interact with the people there, but you can also build a home, create pets and other objects, and code / program new items.

IRC’s, chat rooms, Messenger Services
IRC's - Internet Relay Chat is a form of real-time internet chat, it is mainly designed for group communcation in discussion forms called channels. However there is also the availablity of one-to-one communcation via private messaging. Unlike chat-rooms there are operators and admins that control the channels.
Chat Rooms are are a popular form of communcation on the internet. It is a text-based message service for groups of people to send instant messages to and from each other. Further developments in chat rooms is also the availablity of audio and visual use, which allows to users to interact with each other alot more personally. There are many different types of chat-rooms from meeting friends to dating chat rooms. However over the last couple years chat-rooms have become an controversial subject, as often suggestions of safety and inapropriate use of chat-rooms has caused many people and perhaps more so parents to have negative attachment to the subject.
Messenger Services are simular to chat rooms in terms of instant chat but are mostly used in one-to-one conversations. They also tend to be conversations between friends and people that the users know as oppose to strangers and tend to mainly be used by the younger generation.
I use a Messenger Service called MSN, quite a popular service used by many of my friends. MSN allows you the choice of who you add to your list of friends and privacy settings therefore it is a relatively safe service. I havent much experience with the use of chatrooms and IRC's.

Usenet and Bulletin board systems
Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) were based on widely available personal computers, and spread rapidly.
Usenet and Bulletin board systems are types of forums where one or two particular subjects are up for discussion. It allows people to communcate through 'threads' and comment on each others thoughts, all the comments are openly shared with everyone. People participating in an Internet forum can build bonds with each other and interest groups will easily form around a topic's discussion, subjects dealt within or around sections in the forum.
I personally have not ever used BBS before so have no experience of them.

Email??
Email!!! The cheap and quick way to say a lot or a little no matter the distance!
Email is used through out the world both formally and informally. I personally find email a great way of contacting family and friends at home. However this digital phenomenon has an added stigma attached alongside it. Lister comments on the intimacy and personal touch of a letter is long gone, apart from the severe downfall in the use of the Postal System such as The Royal Mail, but the almost instantaneous system of Email that has caused what Lister refers to as, "the internet based practice of 'flaming - argumentive hostile and insulting exchanges" (pg 19)which has been incouraged through the rapid system which is Email.
Email is an attactive feature to many as it saves people sitting down and spending a lengthy time writing a letter, then making the effort to buy stamps and then the further effort to find a post box.
I use emails alot through casual chats with friends and family at home but find it also useful to be able to send more formal emails to tutors and places of work with perhaps quick work based questions.

Task 1: New Media, Reading Lister et al
Lister et al asks 'What is New media?' a broadly used term, which many forget to question carefully. The "widespread currency" (pg 9) of this term asks us to define what is new about Media, and has the changes affected now and what may capture "our imaginations" (pg9) in the future.
One of the major changes in Media and has helped to give the name of 'New Media' is the use of technological advancements in different areas of the media. It is through the development of such things as the internet, the constant progression of mobile phones and the very popular use of MP3 players and Ipods that I believe to be the New Media of my generation.
Radio, Television and Music seem to be the main developments at the currant moment and time but how long can things continue to develop? Is there a limit to what New Media is or will it continue to be a loose phrase that will be associated with the next big thing?
