redridinghood

Marshal McLuhan states that “Information pours upon us, instantaneously and continuously. As soon as information is acquired, it is very rapidly replaced by still newer information…We can no longer build serially, block-by-block, step-by-step, because instant communication insures that all factors of the environment and of experience coexist in a state of active interplay.” (Pg.63). What this means is that, rather than coming up with new stories, culture nowadays would rather take old stories and tell them in a different way. Donna Leishman, for example, turned red riding hood into a piece of electronic literature. Rather than tell the story straight, the viewer pieces the story together themselves. Essentially, the original story is lost in the navigation of the site.
