After reading this selection, I am happy to announce that I feel somewhat better about what remediation, hypermediacy, and transparency mean. From what I gather, remediation can indirectly involve the difference between telling and showing. The easiest example, which is used ad nauseum, is a book which tells and a digital medium that shows. The best definition I could find of remediation and its purpose is on page 56. It states, "The goal of remediation is to refashion or rehabilitate other media... all mediations are both real and mediations of the real... (and) can also be understood as a process of reforming reality as well" (56).
