"New Media"

What is "New Media"? 
According to the not always reliable but fortunately in this case reliable Wikipedia, it is "a broad term that emerged in the later part of the 20th century to encompass the amalgamation of traditional media such as film, images, music, spoken and written word, with the interactive power of computer and communications technology, computer-enabled consumer devices and most importantly the Internet."  A few examples include:


- digital music download sites such as Napster, Frostwire, iTunes, etc.





- Blu-Ray DVDs



- digital media players such as Amazon Kindle & Apple iPad
