What kinds of technologies are part of the new media?
From the artical:"The New Media Technologies: Overview and Research Framework" we know that Five critical characteristics of the new media technolgies - the Five C's: communication, collaboration, community, creativity, and convergence. So, the technology that are use this five C's are part of new media. For example: Cell phones,gaming systems,ipod and Computer(wich i thing is main technology in new media).
How important is the Internet to the new media?
A new age is upon us - the computer age. There's no doubt that the Internet has changed how fast and the way we communicate and get information. The popularity of the net is rising at a considerable rate. Traffic, the number of people on the web is four times what it was a year ago and every thirty seconds someone new logs on to the net to experience for themselves what everyone is talking about. Since the late of 1980’s, the Internet technology could be available for the mass society, millions of computers, modems and telephones around the world access to this “Information super-high way, and use Internet to transmit all kinds of information. People can publish their work, develop their business, go shopping, take part in a collaboration which involves the people who are thousands miles apart from each other by using Internet.
Why and how are the new media replacing / enhancing the old media?
I don't thing that old media totally replaced by new media but it's using new media . For example books are available on internet (e-book), newspapers also can be read on internet but they are steel in old media too. We are living in "Information Age". Our generation has become one that wants instant gratification - we want it now, and we want it fast, so the best way get any news or information is go to the web.The Internet and the Web allow for the quick dissemination of information, but both false and true; unlike newspapers and other media outlets, there are often no quality control mechanisms on Web sites that would permit users to know what information is generally recognized fact and what is spurious.
