Good Point

Lindsey, I am glad that you pointed out how the authors discussed that giving users options and letting them use their mouse to explore digital online media and how this is giving control back to the user. Electronic media seems to be the most instantaneous and personalizable form of media. With a mouse, the user can gain access to the specific information sought after and disregard what is deemed as personally irrelevant.

The O'Neill website will give users this sort of access as well. The website may be a historical resource to a user who wishes to know more of the community and heritage. It could be a practical resource to users who wish to learn more about the arts and process of developing plays and criticism. To another user, this website may be an entrepreneurial tool to see how one could create a center similar to the O'Neill Center in their own community.

Overall, the project is so fascinating because with remediation, a website is everything to everyone. The website because a personalized tool for the specific goals of the user.
