My Definition of New Media

In the world we live today, most people want to do things in a fast and easy way. I feel that new media has enabled us to do exactly that. New Media, more specifically the internet, mainly allows us to get information and communicate by simply clicking a few buttons. Websites like Google, Yahoo, and Wikipedia make finding information about anything and everything easier than it was before. New Media also cut out the difficulty in communicating with one another. E-mail, communication programs like MSN Messenger or AIM, and websites like MySpace and Facebook, are just a few means of communication available on the internet. More specifically New Media as mentioned in Wikipedia is, "the emergence of digital, computerized, or networked information and communication technologies in the latter part of the 20th century."
