What is New Media?

The new media is a huge phenomenon that's occurring all over the world. Wiki's, social networking sites, blogs, media communities, and even technology are part of the various technologies that make up this NEW MEDIA. The Internet is definitely important to new media, as quoted by Linda Friedman in "The new media technologies: overview.." she wrote, "many if not all new media technologies enable collaboration over the internet and that includes the wiki and emails." New media is replacing old media mostly in technology and the advancements it offers. We can see all around us how year after year stores come out with new toys and techies around the world go crazy. Newer ipods replace the old ones and new phone models replace the old ones.
