There is no turning back the clock. Traditional media now works with and embraces that change. There is a continual, if uneasy partnership between traditional media and the new technologies, but it continues as a powerful force forward nonetheless. Between the power of the web, social media and new forms of commerce, the entire daily life of the consumer, vis a vis the entertainment, communications and commerce experience is forever altered. The partnership between the traditional media and new media has created a new and interesting era in the relationship between the innovator and the established system – one that is open and generally encourages and rewards change.
