First Prezi on Chapter 2

Technology is all about incorporating "the old" with "the new". Although the design might alter slightly in "the new", some basic structure will always remain the same. We may think of technology just in terms of machines, but there are other technologies that exist as well, such as art or music. Some may say that with the new technology, we just sit back and let the machine do the work for us. That is not the case considering every technology requires us to do a certain amount of manual work. Even the computer has our fingers quickly typing on a keyboard. Competition allows us to see the rivalry between the old and the new. This rivalry shouldn't be thought of as destructive, because with it we are able to remediate technology and create something even better. "The old" shouldn't always be the good guy. There are great ideas associated with "the new" as well. The new type of hypermediacy isn't simply shown to you in the form of A+B=C. You sometimes may have to focus in and truly pay attention to what you are looking at.
