I've been taking this class for five weeks now, but I think I've only really now begun to understand what "new media" really is. Initially I though new media was the internet and technology. New media was Facebook, the itunes store, youtube, and basically any other technology that allowed us to interact with machines and each other, or conveyed information. I though that in the class we would be covering only this topic. In retrospect that would have been a fairly limited subject.
