These two chapters were very confusing to me, but as I read on there were some points that stood out to me. Prior to reading this text I really could not even tell you what the words hypermediacy or immediacy meant. Botler and Grusin managed to put it into a little bit of perspective. I realize now that both are outlets of digital literacy that deal with the notion of reality. One deals with a perceived notion of reality and another deals with the concept of achieving reality. The chapter also helped me to get a better grasp on remediation. The first chapter served as more of an introduction and these following chapters made the definition a little clearer. Remediation ties in with the notion of reality through hypermediacy or immediacy. I was also drawn to the fact that it is referred to as being the inseparable link in between mediation and reality. I think after reading these chapters more ineptly a second time they will come in very useful in preparing the media outlets for our group project.
