What is new media?

New media tyically includes any informational media distributed via computer, internet, websites, computer games, etc.
New media is not television programs, feature films, books. New media is concerned more with cultural objects and paradigms. What a lot of younger people today may not be aware of, is there were places for electronic trasfer of information before the internet became common place.
The rise of new media has increased communication between people all over the world and the internet. It has allowed people to express themselves through blogs, websites.
The difference between Old Media and New Media is that news papers and magazines are all turned paperless, We can now go onto the internet and we are able to read from there. We can now watch movies and shows we may miss over the internet as well.
Basically New Media is about making things a little bit more comfortable for those who are seekers of information and entertainment.
