Sometimes I think I have more fun with the titles of my posts than the actual post themselves. I guess this makes sense considering I want to be a copywriter, a master of the headline. Anyways, that was a bit of a tangent, my apologies.
Taking the time to consider all of the remediations we have encountered during the short semester, not many of them seem to be revolutionary. For something to be considered revolutionary, it must have had a profound effect on society, changing the way we operate in the world. Only one remediation comes to mind that fulfills these requirements. That, of course, being the Internet. The Internet has truly revolutionized the way we live today. We find our news online, buy clothing, books, music, etc. online, and connect with people all over the world in an instant. Nothing more revolutionary than that. In fact, the Internet has turned the great wide world into a global marketplace of ideas and information. This is something that has never been accomplished before.
Every bit of media, pictures, video, audio, etc. has been remediated in some way on the Internet. To me, the Internet is the remediation of all remediations.
