WHAT IS NEW MEDIA ?

New media is an advanced technology that people using every day included Internet, websites, streaming video, computer games, and many more.
I strongly believe that internet is a very important part of new media. It is not only allowing people to obtain a multitude of diverse information, but also it is helping to accelerate globalization by transferring the necessary information and knowledge in various fields to provide educational resources for developing countries to improve their standard of living, increase efficiency in production. Advanced Internet technology became a base for economic growth, without it these countries will fall further into poverty and economic ruin with little hope for survival.
Moreover, through the internet people can use technology as video conferencing, email, chat rooms or other communication tools to connect in real time and conduct businesses with each other.
I believe that new media is outperforming traditional one because it can provide a broader and easier access to information like news, which can be obtained from various sites faster than from local newspapers. Because of the modern internet technology, I can access a digital library which provides thousands of books and read them in comfort of my home instead of taking a long trip to the local library.
