Questions for "What New Media Is Not" reading

In response to the first section of how cinema is the new media i wonder if "digitally encoded media is discrete" then what is the real definition of media? Cinema is considered to be the new media then what are the images we see on a daily basis, if not, media?

In this reading I still wonder about the "discrete representation" that the reading talks about in the first two sections. Is there really a difference between new and old media? They both share the same ideals of representing media during its own time, old or new? Does "discrete representation" have to do with with copying or because of its access to the public?
