Abstract

New and converging media have become an integral part of our daily lives. The Internet and social media in particular have changed the way we communicate and network with family, friends, and acquaintances. Digital games and interactive entertainment have emerged into mainstream media, attracting an ever-growing audience of young and older users alike. Mobile media have extended the scope of traditional mass media, and make information, entertainment, and computer-mediated interpersonal communication available at any time and at any place.
