What is new media?

New media is everything that makes information easily accessible. Some examples of new media are blogs, myspace, even online shopping. With all of these things people can get information about almost anything quickly and easily. For example, if you are looking to fix any problems taht have to do with a computer or a video game console, you can google the problem up and most of the time you will get a link to blogs with ways to repair that problem of people who have had that similar problem.

Is online shopping new media?

I will research different online shopping sites, such as e-bay and amazon, and analyze their characteristics. I will look at how people shop,rate, and discuss the quality of online shopping and the products they are purchasing. Is there a connection between online shopping and everything else that makes up new media? This is the main question I am trying to answer.

New Media

New Media is everywhere and everyone is using it. People love it because its so easy to access, has so much information. Old media is trying to evolve by using New media to keep up with the Internet and blogs. There is so much competition for Old media that if it does not try and use new media to evolve then old media will become extinct and the only place you will see remnants of the old media would be in Museums.
