Remediation...
"Self"One thing that really stuck out to me in the this part of the book, that I think most of us really ignore, or think little of is concept of Freedom of the Virtual Self! I dont think we realize it because it is already expected from us as viewers!! The media is under the viewers control in an operational sense, meaning they expect to be able to navigate and explore any type of media within a click of a button, and in the easiest method possible! As creaters of the the website it is our job to make the website as managable and easiest controlled for our audience because its not only what looks good, but because it is what is expected. When I think of making this possible, I think about links, scrolls, flash, photos, etc. This is what we will be working with to ensure the freedom of our audience's virual self! I think we want our audiences to compare where they are at that given time and moment to where they could be within our websites, making them want that control and giving them that urgency (empathy, pathos).
A small idea that I wanted to touch was networked self, and how it is constantly changing and adapting to any given environment. We want our networked self to be able to focus on multiple things at a time. This should be something created within our websites. But there shouldnt be a pull for attention, but there should be a balance and breakdown of equality between the things inside the website. I thinks thats where the ideas of pop-ups and the need for certain things to come up in new, seperate windows.
