ReplyDeletethe term 'new media' may seen basic but it involves a lot more than first perceived. the first part of this chapter is trying to explain 'new media'.
ReplyDeletei now understand the difference digital and analogues.
digital is alot smaller apposed to analogue. for a photo to be saved digitially, digits are used to form a code and then that data is saved. however a tape from a photographic camera, which is analogue, you will just see the images. analogue is just physically stored as it is.
new media is not resricted to any sector or part of the world. interaction with a object or another person is what new media is all about. throught interacting the viewer becomes a user. 'extractive' and 'immersive' interactions have been explained (but i need to read more). Hypertextual navigation is extractive where we seek access where as immersive interaction is where we gain access.
ReplyDeletecommunication is big in media media. not only throught the internet but on a one to one basis. a new relationships between users and media technologies form as well as one between identity and community. new genres and entertainments are experienced through computer gaming and hypertexts. (hype is the key word for new).
I'd say that especially individual repsponses to media which would normally have gone one-way have become quite a big thing. Almost every news-article you read or video you watch on youtube or even picture you find on websites asks you to comment or rate and stuff like that. There is a lot more communication going on in that respect if you comnpare it to similar websites only a few years ago. I can barely imagine now that we didn't used to have social networking websites such as facebook and myspace and places where you can easily broadcast video (a traditional media, really) to the world like youtube. The internet really is more and more becoming a two-way medium than before, when you could find information online about stuff, and, email and chatrooms aside, that was about it.
