The future
After reading some of these links I would like you to write at least 400 words on how online media have developed in your chosen 2 media areas.
Film: Over a number of years the film industry has developed and changed in many different ways for example there are now 3D films that come out on a regular basis. Also there has been advance in sound systems to make the film more realistic, these areas are still underdeveloped and also very expensive and therefore have not really taken off.
Prior to DVDs and videos the only place that a person could view a film would have been in a theatre and there would have been a much smaller selection available to a much smaller audience. Many people are anticipating that in the future there will be no DVDs and that the films will be available straight from the internet and will bypass the waiting period between cinema and it being released on a DVD.
Music: With the development of the internet the music industry has changed significantly as new artists are being discovered daily, thanks to websites such as Youtube and Myspace. This technological convergence has proved to have made many different new successful artist who without these sites may have never been discovered. With the rise of the internet artists now find it easier to promote themselves and get there music heard by a mass audience.

Definition
Wikinomics : How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
Web 2.0: associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them.
Participating culture : is a neologism in reference of, but opposite to a Consumer culture — in other words a culture in which private persons (the public) do not act as consumers only, but also as contributors or producers. The term is most often applied to the production or creation of some type of published media
Peering: is a voluntary interconnection of administratively separate Internet networks for the purpose of exchanging traffic between the customers of each network. The pure definition of peering is settlement-free or "sender keeps all," meaning that neither party pays the other for the exchanged traffic.
Digital Natives: is a young person who was born during or after the general introduction of digital technology, and through interacting with digital technology from an early age, has a greater understanding of its concepts. Alternatively, this term can describe people born in the latter 1970s or later, as the digital age began at that time; but in most cases the term focuses on people who grew up with 21st century modern technology.
Democratisation is the transition to a more democratic political regime It may be the transition from an authoritarian regime to a full democracy, a transition from an authoritarian political system to a semi-democracy or transition from a semi authoritarian political system to a democratic political system.

We-Think: explores how the web is changing our world, creating a culture in which more people than ever can participate, share and collaborate, ideas and information.
Ideas take life when they are shared. That is why the web is such a potent platform for creativity and innovation.

Media and collective identity
I wouldn't say that there were any fashion movements taking place at this present moment, however many people in society are beginning to dress very similarly because of high-street brands such as Topman / Topshop and Riverisland. However this probably wouldn't contribute to the formation of a collective identity as there are many different people who wouldn't want to look or dress the same as the mass of people and would want to be individuals.
One cultural movement that added to collective identity recently was the protests against the rise in student fees, this shows how there has been a collective disagreement with the increasing fees and people of any ages have come togther to belive in one thing.
Identity negotiation:
