New media is interactive. In contrast to old media where the order of everything is fixed, the user can now interact with the media object. In the process of interaction, the user can choose which elements to display or which paths to follow. Suggesting that new media is more interactive.
However after i read a book by Lev Manovich, titled 'The Language of New Media', i realised that its not only new media thats interactive, 'old' media was/is interactive too. For instance if someone was to look at a piece of abstract art. They would have to interact with the piece, trying fill the gaps and work out what the art is conveying. The type of interactivity that's pyschological.
