Remediation part 3
This section examines how television, the world wide web and elements of ubiquitous computing are all aspects of the remediated self. This section answered my previous question of the difference of television and film. We view film in a public space such as movie theaters annd we view television in a more personal space. Television acknowlages the mediation and has different styles for each genre of program. Styles of remediation include the windowed style seen on news broadcasting. Transparency is evident in dramas, soap operas, daytime talk shows and reality television. Hypermediacy is evident in news, sports, situation comedies and special events. The World Wide Web remediates everything. The variety of remediation can be respectful; an example is information that highlights other media and information without changing or distorting it. A webcam creates hypermediacy through transparency. It makes parts of the world available to anyone online. With these advances the question of censorship remains. Bolter and Grusim conclude that hypermediacy dominates the Internet. Ubiquitous computing examines the total surveillance of users. It is the opposite of virtual reality. We use this everyday with smart boards, tablet pc’s and PDA’s.
