New media technologies includes any mean that is used to communicate between people.For example, blogs, wikis, telephones, computers, television, second life, among many others, The internet plays a great role in new media because it broads the spectrum, connecting people from all over the world together. From the most remote places in Africa to great metropolises in China, the internet facilitates the communication in a way that we never thought it would be possible. It also brings culture to people who could not afford to travel. A clear example of the is the website artmuseum.net where photographs and culture can be seen by anyone who stumbles through this web page. Another way that the internet is helping people is through community blogs that can display a new restaurant in town or help fight crime like the one feature on New York Times in the article entitled "Brooklyn Blog Helps Lead to Drug Raid" by Micheal Wilson.
