New media is term that sprang out of nowhere until we have reached the pinnacle of our time in experimenting with different technology sources. New media referres to the integration of all types of media forms for exemple audio, visual and sometimes these two combined. We live in an electrical world where everything is accessible through the vast knowledge of technology use. New media could be studied in so many areas and on different levels depending on what you are trying to produce. Music videos are an excellent exemple to be studieds on in terms for a better understanding of new media. They are the amalgamation of all types of media use, audio of course, visual effects, distortion in both audio and visual, the vessels that they are being presented upon, sometimes it could be on television, computers, cellphones, ipods or even live on stage. These types of media forms together they create what was called new media with the vast use of technologies and thorough understanding of it in terms of trying to create something utterly new and influential on the ages that will follow. The term will now bear any long term definition as it is constantly changing and evolving as we move along through ages in time.
