There are many draw backs to the different mediums as they have developed. Print, one of the oldest mediums that we still see a lot of today, is heavy and required huge machines to accomplish the printing of the works of literature. Print was an amazing invention, don't get me wrong, but print was able to help spread the ability to read from just select groups to many many people. By having the ability to read and collaborate because of the availability of the medium really help to spread literacy.
The medium that we see a ton of today is the spread of many new things in digital mediums. Just think about it all of the blogs and e-books and all of the knowledge that is being spread because of the easiness of access to information about basically any subject that perks you interest. There are many draw backs to today's mediums though as soon as we learn about all of the new things some other new twist on the medium comes out. Look at how even social media keeps changing, Myspace and then Facebook. Now google is even attempting to move into the social media market with google plus. As everything is becoming connected this can be problematic because if one aspect of your account is hacked then the hacker has access to all of your information that is linked together.
