"New media is a broad term in media studies that emerged in the latter part of the 20th century. For example, new media holds out a possibility of on-demand access to content any time, anywhere, on any digital device, as well as interactive user feedback, creative participation and community formation around the media content."

Honestly the term new media is something that tends to be a bit complex. I've just started reading this article and so far it seems like the author has a lot of issues with the term. New media encompasses art made with the help of a computer. For me, as a photographer, digital artist, and printmaker, I've used a computer in the majority of my work and see the benefits of the resource.
My main issue with this article thus far is I'm seven pages in and all I've read is basically a history lesson on how the computer came to be. Honestly I never enjoy reading articles for a class because they always tend to be extremely long and I never enjoy reading them. So I'm through the first 10 pages and I'm taking a break for now and enjoying the rest of my night without reading the rest of this !
