English and New Media: A Relationship

Let's start this of with a few definitions. The definition of new media is the means of mass communication using digital technologies such as the internet. There are three different definitions of literature though they can be summed up as such: written works to inform, persuade, or entertain an audience.

So what is the relationship between literature and new media. The simple answer would be they are both a form of communication and although they exist and are used in daily life in different forms both are a means to catalog the culture and information of a time period. New media changes periodically, often with each year there is a different form of New Media. Literature is similar in the sense that with each major event and generation there is a new movement in literature.

Though New Media is a fairly recent and new concept it is still similar to literature and they still have a relationship. This post is significant because this blog focuses on the relationship between the two.
