Manovich seems to find it very important that we have clear-cut definitions separating "old media" from "new media." Why is this so important? Or maybe, what are the stakes involved in the ways we define "new media"?
He refers to new media's influence on culture (in the sense that transcoding results in a "computerization of culture" [47]). What might he mean by culture, in this context? DOes this only affect cultures with widespread computer access, or is it a global "culture" that is changing?
