Review of "The New Media Technologies: Overview and Research Framework"

The paper was done by Linda Weiser Friedman and Hershey H. Friedman. The paper was informative on the topic of new media technologies. The paper was easy to understand and to read as it didn't have too many complex vocabulary that most scholarly research paper usually have. This would be a good paper to introduce someone to understanding what new media is, the history of it, how it is different from old media, the characteristics of it, and where it is being used at now. It would definitely be a good paper to handout next time you have this course again to the students so they have a better understanding of what it is since the start of the semester. A change that you can do is be more detailed on some of the sites on the Table III since there are some of them that have details and others have lots of space like for example, "1996 VOIP ( add Voice Over Internet Protocol)," " 2005 Youtube (add that it is a video hosting/sharing site)," etc.
