1.) The Author compares actually being at a concert and to watching it on something like MTV. In your opinion, what are some similarities and differeneces?

Differences are you get to keep your eardrums and you can set the audio to however you like it. However, you don't get the full 'experience' of being trampled to death, you can't actually see people on stage and you don't get to waste your money on the insanely overpriced shirts. Obviously I am more interested in watching it from the safety of my own home, where I have control over what happens, when its paused, etc. The price of beer (to an extent), food, etc.


2.) What does the author mean when he says, all mediation is remidiation?

I have no idea. Everyone reuses everything, I guess? Which isn't really surprising, it seems like everything is regurgitated anyway. But I don't really know what the author is trying to mean about this.

3.) The author talks about how photography can "come alive". What are some ways that this can happen?

Magic Eye. Definitely Magic Eye. But in all seriousness, I have no idea. I guess by making it shout at you via some stuff? Like I said, I'm not sure. I don't really know much about photography nor how to make a picture come alive, I've never seen such sorcery.
