In the Manovich reading, a lot of information is given about the history of digital media. He talks about and decribes different types of media and their individual histories. He also talks about the change to "new media" and the principles that make up the concept. After a lengthy explanation, he talks about what new media is not. He lists some of the differences between new and old media and criticizes them.
Personally, I found this reading kind of boring. ;( Plus, I am still battling this sinus thing and my head is clogged full of other stuff besides ideas. Bear with me.
Because there was so much information included in the one reading, it was, however, a litte bit hard to follow the flow of information for me. Manovich did have headings to helo guide the reader through his concepts, though, which was helpful.
