New media is a catch-all term for all forms of
electronic communication that have appeared or
will appear since the original mainly text-and-
static picture forms of online communication.
New media usually includes any and all of these:
Online news, streaming video and streaming audio, 3-D and virtual
reality environments and effects, highly interactive user
interfaces, mobile presentation and computing capabilities, CD and
DVD media, telephone and digital data integration, online
communities, live Internet broadcasting
3. 1989: Tim Berners-Lee completes the original software for the World Wide
Web (WWW). He envisions the WWW as a shared information space
within which people communicate with each other and with computers.
From 1991 to 1994 use of the original WWW server grows by a factor of ten
each year as the world begins to take note of a new information
phenomenon.
The Internet does not consist of a physical network. It is a loose system of
connections between different computers, located all over the world.
The seed of “new media” is planted.
