Networks of Remediation (Bolter & Grusin)

1. What is your take on the notion that immediacy depends on the cultural context? (i.e. Africans v. Westerners looking at a photograph) Do you agree or disagree that immediacy to some may look like hypermediacy to others? Explain or give an example of how this applies to you.

2. Is it the media that influence cultural changes or cultural changes that influence media? Give evidence to support this.

3. Remediation is happening all around. Is it possible for you, the viewer, to watch a movie and be drawn immediately into a scene where an actor is watching or interacting through another medium? Does the fact that you're watching someone using another medium trigger the realization that you are also interacting with hypermediated technology?
