Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The new means of communication has promoted an 'ideology of limitless' communication.
Statement II: The new means of communication are against electronically extended interactivity among individuals.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
This two-statement question concerns the new (digital, electronic) means of communication, so evaluate each statement on its own.
Statement I says the new means of communication have promoted an 'ideology of limitless' communication. This is correct. Digital and networked media create the impression that we can reach anyone, anywhere, at any time, with no barriers of distance, cost or capacity. This sense of boundless, always-available connection is exactly the 'ideology of limitless' communication that the new media encourage.
Statement II says the new means of communication are against electronically extended interactivity among individuals. This is incorrect, and in fact it states the opposite of the truth. The defining feature of the new media is precisely that they enable and expand two-way, electronically extended interactivity — people comment, reply, share and converse across networks. So rather than being against such interactivity, the new media are its very engine.
Therefore the first statement is correct while the second is incorrect.
Correct answer: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
