What does the term "new media" mean to you, and when is it no longer "new?"
I asked this question of my network on LinkedIn and Facebook, and got a variety of responses including:
- blogs, podcasts, wiki, widgets
- any new gadget or gizmo that flashes and has a touch-screen . . . a new form of communication that is so different and so new that it has never even been thought of (not invented, but even thought of).
- all media forms worth discussing
- an arch way to suggest a change
- blogging, taggin, twittering, linking, sharing . . . all the practices that are supported by social software
- (anything that) wouldn't be new when newer or more efficient ways are made way which foresees the immediate future of the current new media to be obsolete ..
- (something) not widely used . . . and it would be come no longer new once it's reached a relative saturation of use.
- (media that) until a newer or different medium replaces it in the social eye.
