What is Contemporary Media

In my Contemporary Media class , my first assignment is to define Contemporary Media.

According to Wikipedia, the definition of Contemporary Media is as follows - "New media most commonly refers to content available on-demand through the Internet, accessible on any digital device, usually containing interactive user feedback and creative participation. Common examples of new media include websites such as online newspapers, blogs, wikis, video games and social media. A defining characteristic of new media is dialogue. New Media transmit content through connection and conversation. It enables people around the world to share, comment on, and discuss a wide variety of topics. Unlike any of past technologies, New Media is grounded on an interactive community."

The way I use Contemporary Media is primarily on my cell phone. I use my cell phone for social media interaction such as Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram. I also use my phone to communicate with people like texting and phone calling.
