While dozens of new media technology are available the scope of this research examined individual's use of blogs online social networks and downloadable content. Data about new media was gathered through a literature review and by conducting interviews with people that are frequent users of new media technology. By conducting interviews with individuals that use new media for at least a few hours a week in one or more different technologies it was determined which variables impact new media users the most.
