POST MEDIA CONDITION + GRAMOPHONE, FILM, TYPEWRITER
Our discussion came to a realisation that despite the dilution between mediums today, writing and reading remain the blood system of society. Throughout time each medium has had to lean on other mediums to continue its relevance and growth. Meanwhile digital media technology impregnated itself into every facet of living. Kittler seemed to think that audio and visual technology would win out. We saw that writing and reading, whether it is words or zeros (0) and ones (1), came out as the dominant medium. All other forms continue to be dependant on the ability to be literate and communicate thought, ideas, and feelings.
