new-old worldmedia

[human being]

1- often wonder 'where new media begins and old media ends'?
especially as without energy and earlier technological advances
(radio, transistors, tv cathode-ray tubes, telephony - switches, +)
'the Internet' and computing would not exist. it is wondered if it
exists  to a degree or percentage  by way of statistics of how
developed infrastructures are, and those countries where new
media is at the forefront of considering ideas.... some numbers...

2- the idea of the relation between spaces and places via
  power structures (literally, energy and power production and
consumption) is of interest between Eastern Europe and Western
Europe if those are accurate terms in the age of the European Union.
these 'networks' were laid before the internet and with early telecom,
and advances in the 1990s seemed to indicate an international
inter-locking of major power-grids (for trading/exchanging energy
as a fluid commodity, it seems). thus, preceding the E.U. or at the
same time was the interlocking of power grids, relations between
countries in terms of power production and consumption, possibly
in tune with political power amongst other representations (media).
tried to find a map quickly as i know they exist and found an example
that will suffice, although the map is not visible, the idea is, at:

	Power Map of Europe June 2002 / $$$
	<http://www.cmsinfo.com/ZPEM144.html>

	From Ireland in the west to Russia in the East;
	Power transmission lines above 230kV;
	Locations of all power stations above 200MW by fuel type;
		
	Tables showing electricity generation by country, consumption
	per capita in kWh, type of fuel used, power stations in operation
	and under construction above 200MW (including name and
	installed capacity); and Tables showing the top 25 European
	Electric Utilities by market capitalisation and by generation
	capacity, plus the European electricity exchanges in GWh.
	Size: 1,230mm x 861mm	Scale: 1:4.8 million
