So what the heck is New Media?

That is an interesting question. New Media represents the advance in technology of the various forms of existing media. It is the revolutionizing of the way we are able to communicate, interact and simply live our lives.
New Media eliminates geographical barriers (except in China), political barriers (again not in China) as well as social barriers.
According to Webopedia, New Media is a generic term for the many different forms of electronic communication that are made possible through the use of computer technology. The term is in relation to “old” media forms, such as print newspapers and magazines, that are static representations of text and graphics.
Examples include website, online communities,e-mail, chat rooms, mobile computing, web advertising.

New Media is definitely changing the way we do things.
