7. Every time a new consumer joins this
media landscape a new producer joins
as well, because the same equipment -
phones, computers - let you consume
and produce. It's as if, when you
bought a book, they threw in the
printing press for free...
- Clay Shirky, How Social Media Can
Make History
11. In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -
but not the book as we know it. Books printed
before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is
derived from the Latin for swaddling cloths and
is used to indicate that these books are the work
of a technology still in its infancy.
- Janet M. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck
12. The house lights went down; fiery letters stood
out solid and as though self-supported in the
darkness. THREE WEEKS IN A
HELICOPTER. AN ALL-SUPER-SINGING,
SYNTHETIC-TALKING, COLOURED,
STEREOSCOPIC FEELY. WITH
SYCNCHRONIZED SCENT-ORGAN
ACCOMPANIMENT.
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
13. Sound film, it was argued, produced a destructive
competition between eye and ear.
- Laura Marcus, Literature and Cinema
14. Why all this anxiety around interactive
documentaries?
• You canʼt win like in a game
(except when it is a game)
• You canʼt work out what to do
(except when you can)
• Thereʼs often no narrative closure
(except when there is)
• The audience love to get involved
(except when they donʼt)
