Hello Hello!!
My name is Jessica Sepulvado! =) I am a Journalism major and my minor is in creative writing. I am considering a second major but I haven't decided in what, just yet. I am a junior here at SFA but I am only in my second semester. I attended Panola Junior college, where I earned my Associates Degree, in Carthage, Texas before my year here at Stephen F.
My definition of New Media is basically three main pieces of technology. Cell phones, Internet, television.
These days Internet has no limits. It can answer any question you ask it. From solving a math problem to building an additional room onto your house, the Internet has your answer. Starting out connecting through phone lines to Ethernet cables to what we now have, Wi-Fi. Something, I have come to believe, the world would not be able to survive with out.
Cell phones find there beginning as radios found in police vehicles and taxi cabs. Today you can't look at a cell phone that doesn't have the ability to text at record speeds, send and receive pictures, and now get on the Internet.
Television is another story. In my opinion, television is the least form of new media. True you have the luxury of recording, rewinding live television, watching several shows at once and now the rumor is 3D on personal home televisions. However, compared to the limitless things you can do on line and now on cell phones, television is definitely the less of the three.
I consider these three to be the main characters of New Media because they are constantly changing. Almost every day there is something new that you can accomplish with one of these.
