Interactivity - The Internet

Interactivity is a defining term for new media and distinguishes it from older forms of media. Where as other forms of media such as gaming has some interactivity as they control the game, the internet has brought whole new levels. Whereas instead of just controlling certain characters in a game, people can share their views and anything else they want with litterally the world and get feedback. Not only does the internet have its own interactivity but it also enhances that of other mediums such as sky television (which allows viewers to shop online) and also gaming (online multiplayer gaming) by making them able to access the internet. This suggests that the internet and its resources are growing rapidly and soon everything will be available to be controlled online.
