What Is Meant By The Terms Static Media And Dynamic Media? Give Examples Of Each Type Of Media.

Millions of people all over the world read newspapers every morning. A newspaper is a medium that basically has a lot of black and white typed matter. It not only looks very unattractive, but it also is monotonous and boring for the user to read the news. A good example of a static medium is the newspaper, with which we start our day every morning. A newspaper follows a set pattern of printing and typesetting operations and the readers have to wait for the next day's edition to read the news.

A website, on the other hand, is the perfect example of a dynamic medium, but it becomes a dynamic medium only when it undergoes constant updates or changes. These changes are made by an expert in web designing, who used tools such as HTML and Flash to modify the content on the webpage and to improve the layout. People prefer dynamic media such as the Internet to static media such as newspapers.
