The link permits fully non sequential writing.

Dispersal
Dispersal is the product of shifts in our relationships

The multiplicity of messages and source.

Hypertext is key to understanding new media..

(week 5)The characteristics of new media 1

In the last class, we learned about two characteristics of new media.

One of the characteristic is a digitality.

Through the lesson, we can define digitality ;"dematerialised from physical form","visual literacy"

Those definitions are not easy to understand for me.

Even though "Digital" is more innovative technic than "Analog",

"Digital" could not contribute to me more artistic emotion than "Analog".


Another characteristic which we learned is an interactivity.

When Professor Yoon explaned this word using comparing with feedback, I could not understand easily.

On the other hand, comunications with the textbook can help me know the meaning well.

To be honest, I don't know deeply yet about several words like instrumental, idealogical, stability and fluidity.
