My take on new media...
New media...what is it exactly? Well, I think new media is any new medium of communication that allows interactivity between the billions of individuals out there. So, unlike print, the radio, and television (which only allows information exchanged from one to many), things like Twitter, Facebook, and blogging allow anybody to exchange information with anyone and everyone. Communication is the number one thing that has exponentially grown because of new media and technology in general. We certainly enjoy our individualism, but if communication grows any further, I think we'll soon be looking at a 24/7 connection to our society. **Geek Alert** Sort of like a Borg collective.

Great focus on interactivity and the many-to-one information delivery set up. I like your focus on people, too. To me that's one of the keys of new media - the way it allows and sometimes forces folks to form a community. The ways folks network is what defines new media to me, much more than the hardware or software themselves.
