RSS enables the user to connect on a multiple basis, Rice (2000) calls it ‘shaping and sharing information. He relates and contextualise the emergence of ‘new media’ to traditional English studies. The idea that technology is, and highly like to be misused, a proposition that may be evidenced in corporate organisation whose main or only concern is the ‘bottom line’. This perspective aligns new media or media in general with what may be called a basic human instincts, which can arguably be seen in capitalism.

The world-wide web being the driving force for new forms of connectivity delivered via networking, oppose to traditional forms of interactions.
