My New Media Class- So Far

What kinds of technologies are part of the new media?

New Media involves technologies such as cellphones and computers. Technologies in new media include any kind of technology that is "in the moment" and constantly evolving.

How important is the Internet to the new media?

Internet plays a huge roll in new media. The Internet is the foundation of how new media is spread across the world. In order to access new media, people must connect to the internet to be able to access the many websites that support new media, such as social networking sites and wikis.

Why and how are the new media replacing and / or enhancing the old media?

New media in my opinion is not replacing old media, but enhancing it. Taking a old media idea such as the distribution of music like CD's and transforming it into downloadable mp3 files that can be access at any moment. The Internet and television are both old media things that have been evolved into new media thing because they are use to share new media ideas to a large quantity of people.
