Bolter Questions

1. Bolter says "Media need each other in order to function as media at all.", but what do you think he would say about the very first media?

2. I find this passage confusing: "Mediation is the remediation of reality because media themselves are real and because the experience of media is the subject of remediation." How can mediation be a remediation of the real when remediation needs a prior mediation in order to take place?

3. Bolter says that "remediation is reform in the sense that media reform reality itself." Can you think of any examples where media have done this?
