It is difficult to put a finger on what is the 'here and now' of new media - especially in regards ti technological advancements. This is because some common terms of technological media are at this point merely concepts of advancement - interpreted in many radical ways. For example, virtual reality has been theorised as the future of video gaming (this leading it out of the console age it currently resides). Virtual reality has also been discussed in regards to its contributions to medical advancement. Blindness may be medically treatable (hypothetically) by neural manipulation using virtual reality technology. It is obvious to see that some technological advancements are more realistic than others. However, they are merely speculations and not part of the current digital age.
