It seems I missed a blog assignment, which considering I was gone on the day we normally get them makes sense. That means this blog is the result of fishing through other peoples' blogs and trying to get an idea of what was posted. Mostly we seem to have interactive media either defined or some aspect rambled about. Either way I'm writing, right?
Interactive media is kind of an oddly shaped umbrella. Obviously blogs, games, social networking sites, and in truth the internet as a whole fall under interactive media. On the other hand, at what point is it considered interaction? Are we interacting with the TV? It isn't responding to you, other people aren't communicating with YOU using it, and the only thing you can change is the channel with a clicker... and the hue and saturation I guess. Still, it's definitely media, and multiple people around the world can end up talking about the same thing because of it. Same goes for radio. So is it interactive even though it's not the media itself you are actually interacting with? And come to think of it, why isn't extroactive media a term?
