Encyclopedia of New Media
The Encyclopedia of New Media is a comprehensive reference on the ongoing revolution in communications and human/computer interaction. New media is broadly defined as a set of rapidly evolving instruments of digitally mediated communication. This includes digital communication tools, such as the World Wide Web, as well as new interfaces, such as interactive film and TV, and new creation/distribution methods, such as digital music and art. The encyclopedia includes extensive essays on overarching concepts such as "hypermedia" and "cyber culture," as well as entries detailing the history, technology, and social ramifications of new media technologies. Pioneers in the field will also be profiled, the underlying technology explained, and the philosophical underpinnings explored-the who, what, when, how, and, perhaps most importantly, the why.
