THE NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES: OVERVIEW AND RESEARCH FRAMEWORK

Firstly, I thought that the paper was very informative and really opens up the topic of new media to those who don't know anything about it. I was especially impressed by the logical layout of the paper and how it transitioned from topic to topic.

One of the questions I have though, and maybe Professor Friedman hit upon it and i missed it, is when is the exact point in time or in technology did media become "new"? Is any electronic content considered "new" media?

I also feel that compared to the rest of the paper, the conclusion was weak. It feels rushed and rough. I understand the point expressed in the conclusion but I think the conclusion can be improved to keep the quality of the paper consistent throughout.
