Over the years, technology has developed significantly and is developing every day. There are more diverse ways to connect thanks to an extension currently in development. There has been a growth in these forms of electronic communication, largely made possible by computer technology, the “new media”. This term relates to forms of "old media", such as printed newspapers and magazines which are static representations of old texts and images. To understand what's "new in new media", we need to understand exactly what media forms cover it. According to Rouse (2005), the new forms appear as “primarily static image forms of online communication”. New media is anything that is possible through computer technology. Everything digital is now essentially represented or created by a one or a zero (everything that uses a computer is made up of a one or a zero depending on how deeply you look at the object in question); this term is called binary, for example videos on websites. A bit is the underlying principle of digital computing, which is essentially the heart of new media. Bits move at the speed of light, without weight or size, and are not particularly a physical thing. Interestingly, bits were only needed to represent digital data, but now they also represent audio and visual data. Therefore, we now immediately get instant gratification from it. The bits are all connected and the movement from physical atoms to digital bits is evident in old media, such as vinyl, to new media, where songs are digitally connected. Maybe just say where the songs are digital? Instead of being digitally connected?. Additionally, one of the main elements that has really impacted media from a small scale to a mass scale is the i...... middle of paper ...... meanings ). So this shows how traditional human cultures are modeled and how a computer represents that. Above all, Manovich's theories show that the possible difference between old and new media is that new media are more technologically advanced and that there are major differences between the two. forms, by the way they are displayed digitally. It could also be argued that the most important thing that makes new media “new” is that it can be modified and programmable. It is therefore a more dynamic form of media, compared to older media which is more static and fixed. The use of computer technology also makes these new forms of new media more accessible to more people. My reference = Lev Manovich. (1999). The language of new media.
