What is New Media?

My interpretation of New Media is Media that allows us the people to interact with things that draw our attention. By using our computers we are able to participate in what is occurring in the world not just sit and watch it unfold via the television or read it in a newspaper which are considered old media. Tools like blogs, wikis and social networks are all classified as new media and also allow our voices to be heard which for many years were silenced.

Comparing my definition to one found on the internet on webopedia, I believe have some similarities. You can find the definition at http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/N/new_media.html
