Newer media and technology are becoming more and more advanced. Media is very cyclical; one technology is always being replaced by something that claims to be better (Bolter 26). The cycle is always in motion, so new technologies are constantly created to replace the old ones. These new technologies attempt to remmove interazction between non-media, but that is virtually impossible. There will always be a connection between media and the unmediated world (26). Apple, for example, is constantly trying to achieve this by coming out with a new IPhone and IPad every year and claim it to be better than the previous one. They are trying to get rid of that interaction with non-media. Advancements in media and technology attempt to get us in contact with the unmediated world, but this task is something that cannot be achieved. Hypermediated media presents itself as something immediate. This is why digital writing cannot completely replace written text. This remediation process will never be fully complete.
