Describe New Media

The types of technologies that are examples of new media are internet, websites, DVDS, CD's, computer multimedia, and video games. Old media consists of television, printed newspapers, magazines, books and all paper based publications.  An example of how we distinguish new media and old media can be seen in the New York Times article "Who Needs a TV? I’m Watching on a Laptop". Television would be the form of old media, and new media would be viewing a television show on a laptop. People can watch shows at their discretion and when they want to view them. A laptop is portable and a easy means to access just about anything you can think of.
