What I learned from the book Remediation and the O'Neill Website
Despite all the technological ideas in Remediation, I learned a great deal to add to my writing interests. First of all I learned more about the strange wod "Convergence." Instead of convergence being a single solution, it can be used to remediate between all types of media. "Convergence means greater diversity for digital technologies in our culture" (pg. 225). Therefore, convergence improves the media. We can now use writing, pictures, animation, audio, etc all together on the World Wide Web. It's amazing. Even though some people find this at a disadvantage because it rejects the "culture of the printed book." In a way it removes the imgaination of print media. When a person reads a book or an article, he can imagine the characters in the book. But with the new convergence, pictures, audio, etc are already set for us. This will be useful for the website. The writing group needs to focus on spicing up the writing but keeping a "true feel" to the writing at the same time. In other words, we will use the convergence but we will describe the places around the O'Neill Center in a descriptive way to allow the readers/audience to visualize what they want. The second interesting fact I learned had to do with television news. I always thought this was true, but it's amzing that news stations make their website look almost identical to their television version. Television and the internet also don't need to use subtitles. Because it is visual, the audience can understand what's going on or hear what's going on. This is useful for the project also. We can use our writing to enhance the image. Certain webpages won't even need any writing because the picture will explain it. That is way we as the writers need to focus and concentrate on getting everything, all the details, out and not let any audience members not understand what's going on on the site.
