• What characterizes new media?
New media uses digital devices, Internet and software to create content. Its components can constantly be mixed and remediated to create media which is even newer. New media has practically no limitations when it comes to generating new devices and software for extending the so called “human body parts”. There are no laws or certain ways things should be done, it allows one to be very creative.
• New media – a technology or culture?
Technology is an extension of Man. It is a tool for making Mans life easier. But it is the culture, which demands how and for which purposes the tool is used. Therefore it can not be said whether new media is technology or culture, because it involves both of the aspects and much more.
• Examine critically new media definitions – can YOU define what new media is?
By collaborating different definitions of new media and filtering out the most intriguing parts for me, I came up with a definition like this.
New media are constantly remediated and improved media, which use the latest technologies, networks and software to create new ways of (cultural, personal, physical, emotional) expression.
A little rough and broad but does not simplify new media as being just the Internet and a computer as it is often done.
