This week's reading took remediation and applied it to areas that I am familiar with and deal with everyday. One thing discussed is the "gaming" world. Gaming has always been a popular pastime, but it seems that with the growth of technology, growth in gaming has also occurrred. Games are becoming more realistic and life like; some games even make you feel like you are right there in the screen, performing the actions yourself. Look at Wii. This new game now allows you to feel like the actual player by having you perform the motions necessary for the action, rather than just push a button.
Besides playing games, I also have an interest in photography. Digital photography has allowed pictures to be easily stores, more clear, and you can take a larger number of photos on one camera. This past Christmas, my mom finally gave up her old camera and got a new digital camera. It has been interesting to watch her try to learn the functions of the camera. To me, it seems so simple, but to my mom (who has not grown up learning about new technologies) this is a major challenge. Even though I am trying to convince her that her new digital camera is better quality and easier to use, she is convinced that her old "film" camera is best. In our reading, the author discusses what my mom belives, that old photography is more personal and meaningful. Yet, it also states the ease and convenience that digital photography proides.
