Remediation

The news media was vastly different and trying to hit on the same topics as they were discussing politics and I like what the guy had to say on the second video “Oprah is wearing a white dress in dirty political water.” The media has become less of a real news source then they once were as “Media have the same claim to reality as more tangible cultural artifacts; photographs, films, and computer applications are as real as airplanes and buildings. p.65” which are ever changing and not always for the best. The first news segment was broadcast on the old analogy/digital signal but was not available in high definition like the second news segment which could be viewed in both analogy/digital and HD. “The logic of transparent immediacy is also at work in nonimmersive digital graphics-that is, in two-and three-dimensional images projected on to traditional computer, film, or television screens. Digital graphics have become tremendously popular and lucrative and In tact are leading to a new cultural definition of the computer. p.67” This seems to be the driving force to see shows and movies in better color and to be more realistic like 3D, things have to be bigger and better than before. New technology is not always a good thing, as some of the old technology worked just fine. Like the saying goes “If it is not broke, don’t fix it” this is so true and works as a very good philosophy that we should live by as not everything needs to be improved upon.
