DESCRIBE NEW MEDIA

What is New Media?

New Media is a form of digital or electronic communication that brings people together closer than ever to use its modern technology with blasting speeds. We have access by computer technology from anywhere adding convenience that Old Media did not have. Simple forms of New Media are chat rooms, e-mails, digital cameras, mobile technology, web sites, blogs, digital video and audio, blue-ray, PDF, CD's, etc. But it is a constantly changing definition. "Today, old media are almost always paired with new media – newspapers and magazines have online versions, as well as their own blogs, television networks produce a great deal of online content related to their programming, etc." We might say next year that today's New Media is Old Media if we will have technology break though which had happened when computers were invented. So the definition of New Media will change as time passes.
