Defining Remediation

In accordance to the reading and text, I interpret remediation to mean the evolution of media in all forms. In understanding this concept you can just examine how newspapers have evolved into news casts and now into online news websites. All three mediums relay the same information, but in different forms and show the evolving of the news genre in general. This concept is greatly affected by the advancement in technologies, especially regarding the example of above. Only through the advancement of technology can users be given the opportunity to have digital literacy and other advanced forms of mediums.

As users and benefactors of this concept, remediation is quiet widespread. If we look at how books and novels of our childhood are becoming movies or how our letter-writing has turned into email, then we can attest to remediation’s very prominent role. I look at the childhood book collection of the Chronicles of Naranja and how it has been turned into a movie series. If we take into account these instances, we would be able to understand how we are living in a time of remediation.
