Recent approaches to media change have convincingly shown that distinctions between old and new media are inadequate to describe the complexity of present and past technological configurations. Yet, oldness and newness remain powerful ways to describe and understand media change and continue to direct present-day perceptions and interactions with a wide range of technologies – from vinyl records to artificial intelligence voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa. How can one refuse rigid definitions of old and new, while at the same time retaining the usefulness and pertinence of these concepts for the study and analysis of media change? This introduction to the special issue entitled ‘Rethinking the Distinctions between Old and New Media’ aims to answer this question by taking up the notion of biography. We argue that the recurrence of oldness and newness as categories to describe media is strictly related to the fact that interactions with media are embedded within a biographical understanding of time, which refers both to the life course of people or objects and to the narratives that are created and disseminated about them. Employing this approach entails considering the history of a medium against the history of the changing definitions that are attributed to it and, more broadly, to considering time not only as such but also against the narratives that make it thinkable and understandable.

This work was undertaken at the suggestion of Mr F. S. Russell that little was known about the natural history of even so familiar a species as Leander serratus, the common prawn of the English Channel, which may at times form a valuable natural resource to the inshore fishermen. Attention was therefore chiefly concentrated on its growth rate and breeding biology. In spite of the long breeding season the statistical method of studying growth was adopted when preliminary results appeared successful. By this method additional data could be obtained on distribution and migration. In the closely related genus Crangon, growth has been shown to be retarded under laboratory conditions (Nouvel & van Rysselberge, 1937), so that an experimental study could not be relied on to give a picture of the normal life history. Höglund's recent monograph (1943) has treated Leander squilla in great detail. However, this species differs considerably in size and distribution from L. serratus, and it was felt that a similar study in the Plymouth area would not be mere repetition; in fact the biology of L. squilla itself differs somewhat in the two districts.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Research has consistently suggested urban dwelling in late adulthood is associated with better cognitive ability. Whether early life rural/urban dwelling and its interaction with late-life rural/urban dwelling relate with late-life cognitive ability in the context of Mexico is not well understood. METHOD: Data comes from the 2003 Mexican Health and Aging Study. Early life rural/urban was assessed as respondents’ reports of growing up in an urban/rural area. Current rural/urban was assessed by locality size (greater/fewer than 100,000 residents). RESULTS: Both early life and current rural residence were associated with poorer cognitive ability independent of education, literacy, early life SES and health, income/wealth, healthcare access, health, and health behaviors. Compared to individuals who always lived in rural areas, rural to urban migration was associated with better cognitive ability. DISCUSSION: In addition to current rural/urban dwelling, researchers should consider where individuals lived in early life and migration across the life-course.
