1990 vs 2008

@KatieGullans

In the 1990 ABC World News video clip, it seemed more planned out and the screen was more simple by not having text and information running across it. They have a lot of good information about events, show scenes of what is happening, and tell interesting important news stories. It doesn’t give out information as quickly and everything in orderly.

In the 2008  Oprah Winfrey news clip, there was a lot text flowing across the screen below that talks about other news. That is probably helpful for the viewer in telling what else is happening and if they want to stick around to watch that. It’s kind of like getting quick information from scanning a page of text so one can get the main idea. There is also text above that, telling the title of what they are talking about currently. If someone just turned on the news, they would know what was being talked about by just looking at the title. Another difference is that it is more interactive with the people talking to each other. The people also seem more natural having conversations.

It relates to the remediation text in that he was talking about making technology more natural. “Immediacy is supposed to make this computer interface “natural” rather than arbitrary.” They wanted to make virtual reality seem more real and have the view forget they are wearing a headpiece. With people talking more “naturally” like you would see between people having a conversation in real life, it seems more real. But if it is planned out, it could seem more like a presentation where someone is reading the exact words they wrote in an uncomfortable manner.
