What is the online age of media?

In media studies we are looking at media in the online age, what this means and also what it means for print media, looking at how old media and online media may "converge" and create the media of the future. Also looking at web 2.0 and the advances it has brought, seeing how websites like Youtube help to make consumers, prosumers, wereby they create and consume their own homemade media instead of large corporations churning out meadia and consumers "getting what they are given" and altogether the effects it is having on media and our everyday lifestyle.
