New Media is media that provides interactivity for the user of the media. The interaction with the media provides new and innovative ways to format the media for the needs of the user. This is much different than traditional or what we call ‘old media’ in that old media does not allow the same interaction with the user. What makes this interaction possible is the digitization of the media into mathematical binary code. Once the media has become digital code it then becomes bits transcending the fixed from of analog media.
