Memory is also crucial for personalizing future interactions. EX Ubiquitous New media allow consumers to reach (and be reached by) other consumers and companies almost anywhere at any time through their mobile devices Networks Consumers use new media to participate in social networks, which enable them to create and share content, communicate with one another, and build relationships with other consumers
