Introduction; Immediacy, Hypermediacy & Remediation (Bolter & Grusin)

Discussion Questions:

1. How does making the interface presence known when surfing the Web give users an authentic experience? Does the interface detract from the aim to make the World Wide Web transparent & erase the idea that a computer is more than a mathematical web & information- filing center?

2. How can we categorize & describe immediacy v. hypermediacy using a Venn Diagram?

3. Marshall McLuhan thought of 'content' in any medium as always a representation of an older medium. For instance, print is the content of the telegraph. Do you agree or disagree? & What are your thoughts on repurposing (taking a property from one medium & reusing it in another)?
