After the emergence of TV, radio is seen as a second medium (Tacchi, 2000). Previously, radio was a popular medium compared to print media. The functions of radio are to disseminate the information and entertainment to the society. After Malaysia independence until today, individuals relied on the radio for entertainment and information. In addition, radio plays an essential role to educate and persuade society. Radio educates society through multi-platform which are agriculture, fishing, business, public service announcement, and enlighten the society on nation’s developments.
Rapid developments in technological revolution of radio broadcasting is acknowledged as new communication technology. By reason of that, radio broadcasting industry experienced transformation and forced to compete with other mediums (Cordeiro, 2012:492). In other words, radio must compete with TV, interactive media, social media and print media. As a result,

But the advent of digital technology took over the print task with the convergence of the Internet. Nowadays, people connect to each other through mobile phones, Internet rather than printed letters. Similarly to radio. Analogue radio cannot allow the projection of super text on the radio screen. But, digital radio allowed the super text and provides information to fulfill listener gratification.
Basic principles of digitalisation usually involved three mechanisms, which are digital studio, digital transmission, and digital receiver (Shiomi & Hatori, 2000). Figure 1.1 shows the digital broadcasting equipment in accordance with the digital principles. Thus, digital operational system involves a computing system and calculation of a digit system (Floyd, 2014). For instance, if the studio is digital, transmission is digital but receiver is analogue, as a result, digital broadcast cannot be
The transmitter consist of a DSP logic board that is capable of digitizing analog inputs and multiplexing them over a common pair of wires. Multiple analog signals will be converted to digital signals and multiplexed, in order to be sent through a pair of wires to the receivers. Along the same pair of wires, the transmitter will send enough dc voltage to power up the receivers and the speakers. The receivers will consist of a DSP logic board which will demultiplex the signal, filter the signal, and convert the signal from digital to analog. The receiver will demultiplex the signal coming from the transmitter, and filter the input to retrieve the corresponding audio signal.
We do not have waste time on a lot of reading. We can directly chat with friends in different regions on social media instead of using few weeks to mail a letter. People have gotten used to living with technology every day. From ordering food, shopping, searching for information and texting people online… All of these activities have proven that people depend
Radio has been very important in joining listeners over the world. Radio originating in 1899 by Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian inventor, has united listening ears for over one hundred years. The invention of radio came from the experimental physics professor at Cambridge University, James Clerk Maxwell. Maxwell published a theoretical paper stating that electromagnetic currents could be perceived and travel distances (PBS). Years later, with Maxwell’s theory leading to the invention of radio, this medium has provided commercial and non-commercial outlets allowing different programming to travel distances.
Personally I would not say that typography has been replaced by television, rather, people prefer to listen instead of read the news, but that does not mean that there is no more printing
I feel as if reading and writing is not as important as it was back in the day. 10 years we would have to look in the dictionary and know how to read to find the stuff we are looking for. Nowadays, your phone, tablet, or computer can you read you everything you need to know. You can talk to your phone and it can type out whatever you are writing or texting. Back in the day, reading and writing was the thing to know, now people are trying really hard to keep it alive.
Digital Communication Electronically sending and receiving information (Ribble, 2011). Digital communication includes e-mail, SMS, instant messaging, mobile
He makes this change seem like a negative occurrence is happening. Birkerts wants everyone reading this to believe that the extreme switch from printed word to electronics is a negative consequence for many circumstances. It will affect language, people's sense of individuality, the arts, and students’ aptitude scores. He has a few statistics, for example, when he talks about how people do not read as often, “fifty to a hundred million people (possibly a conservative estimate) form their ideas about what is going on in the world from the same basic package of edited images”(3). However, they are not credible because he does not say where he obtains it from.
Postman argues throughout his work that technologies have strengths and weaknesses. He states that every new technology in our society replaces another. Postman also discusses the technology of writing. Text messaging is the new technology that has replaced writing. Messaging through smartphones has many advantages as well as disadvantages.
“Media has become as necessary as food and clothing. Media is a mirror of the modern society; in fact, it is the media which forms our lives. The principle of the media is to let people know about modern, new relationships and to tell about the most modern discussion and fashion. The media still very backward behind other economic sectors because international communication is closely bound up with culture, language and tradition” (Karachi, M.(n.d). Media has many important types we already use in our daily life such as the internet and TV also radio and print media like newspaper and magazine.
Conceptual Framework Media and information literacy has a big purpose in every learner. It is very important to have knowledge into it and advance education about it. But the come out of this point, majority of the learners are lack of knowledge on MIL and it manifest of-the-line the level of knowledge in media and information literacy. According to Wikipedia, media and information literacy recognizes the major role of information and media in our everyday lives.
The world we live in today is predominately changing with the advancement of digital communication in the daily aspects of our life. The rapid growth and evolution of digital communication, has resulted in it now becoming the backbone of the way we interact with other people. Beginning from simple 160-character SMS messages to text’s influence on the internet including Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and Instagram and then introduced on our mobile phones with BBM and whatsapp; digital communication has become a part of our spoken discourse. Digital communication in every aspect has impacted our lives as it helps jobs and businesses communicate a lot faster through e-mail, multimedia and texting.
