Perhaps the best definition for new media can be attributed to Lev Manovich, in his article "New Media from Borges to HTML." In the article, he describes new media as, "the cultural objects which use digital computer technology for distribution and exhibition." This includes computer-generated video, websites, computer video games, CDs, DVDs, mobile phone apps, MP3s, etc.
Old media can generally be seen as forms media which previously were not reliant on computer technology. This includes magazines, newspapers, radio and TV. However video that is posted online, such as on YouTube, now become part of the new media realm, as it now available online due to computer technology.
