Comment

I think that a book is old media and computer is new media.Also I have been thought their are different kind of media.But in lecture, the computer is just a tool to display a contents that old media have.So, I perceive I have stereotyped viewpoint . When I Heared lectureI say only ' A-ha'. and I know that I have so little knowledge abot media yet.And we see some short movie files about 'cut-ups'.before the class, I have no idea of 'cut-ups'. First, The film is strange and do not familiar . But it is interesting.Because that is not a theory . That is media- sound , scen.That is why I more easily understood 'cut-ups'.By the way, we learnd abot Vannevar bush at last week.In class I know that Vannevar bush affects Engelbart.I think both Vannevar bush and Engelbart is great man.
