1.1.5 Distingushing between kinds of new media on Oct. 2, 2007.

First of all, the author says that it's also very significant to take a look at the beyond of the abstraction because we need to "regain and use the term in its plural sense;" technological developments and changing ratios between the old and the new.

New media means:
1. New textual experiences
- such as hypertexts on the internet.
2. New ways of representing the world
- ex) immersive virtual environments, screed-based interactive mulimedia.
3. New relationships between subjects and media technologies
- one way in the old days -> two ways(interactivity)
4. New experiences of the relationship between embodiment, identity and community
5. New conceptions of the biological body's relationship to technological media
6. New patterns of organization and production

Moreover, we're facing a "whole array of rapidly developing fields of technologically mediated production" such as computer-mediated communications, new ways of distributing and consuming, virtual reality, and a whole range of transformations and dislocations of established media.

To sum up, it's not easy for us to separate the old and new media because we already got used to these lives based on the new media without defining it as the new media. However, when we take a look at it little bit more closely, we can distinguish between these two things easily.
