How do I connect my TV to my macbook air. The socket I used on my white macbook is not present?

Have just bought a Macbook Air and the socket I used to use to connect my Macbook (White) to the TV when watching video is missing. What can I do?

The new MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port. Apple introduced this form factor with the Late 2008 model (then called MiniDisplay Port. I suspect your MacBook had a Mini-DVI port. So you'll need to purchase an adapter for this computer as well as any additional cabling.

Don't pay any mind to the fact that it says MiniDisplay Port and not Thunderbolt, it's backwards compatible.
