Abstract
Internet as a synonyme of the"new media" not only contains and disseminates information worldwide - like electronic broadcast media - , it is also capable of processing information in an interactive manner, since it is computer-based, i.e., its information objects are virtual machines. Thus, the potential of the new media is urging us to reconsider the notion of media. Since we witness that formal logic is constituting the concept of the computer, we need a new model of"media" to describe, understand and manage the effects of the new infosphere Infosphere means the entity of new media, comprising the new ICT, which is surrounds the globe metaphorical like a sphere containing ubiquitous information objects.We propose a new model for media, namely for computational media, that includes the effects of the processes that are changing and evolving knowledge, executed by humans or computers.
