As we approach the end of the semester, I look back on my initial definition of what I thought New Media was, yet now I believe to have a much clearer understanding of what New Media really is. New Media is exactly what it means. Simply take for example Media such as was the record player that over the years has evolved into a cassette, a CD-Rom to just a simple download, or the newspaper or magazines, which although still exist are now becoming a thing of the past, with the world wide web becoming more and more popular. New Media is simply a term we use when our current Media evolves, making it "old" media.
It is somewhat complex to explain since no one can actually say what EXACTLY new media is in our present time since there are changes happening everyday. What is "new media" today may just be "old" tomorrow. There is simply no "lasting" definition for New Media, it is a term that will change at the same rate that we bring about that change.
