Remediation of New Media

 "Remediation is a defining characteristic of new digital media." (Bolter, 2000, p45)When we start to say about new media and remediation, we must start with technology.Current technology is changing and developing fastly. In this process , new media dont be just name of "new" media and new media must be developed the technology. Greek philosopher Herakleitos say that "the only thing that constant is change." because process of changing is very effective. For example, if  something didnt change other form or situation, it is changed or be passive by force. The new media is included this process and some part of media is change and other part is passivization. For example , when radio is lanched first time, lots of people buy the radio and place great importance. Afterthat television and other media tool increased radio's important and radio is just antique or application in the mobile phone.

 "We need to transcend the old to discover completely new worlds of expression." (Bolter, 2000,p45) ıf people depend on just one or a few tool, they  cant invent new things. People who want to become part of innovation must broad their horizon. when first camera phone release, people think that this thing is high technology's product and it can be last function of phone and scientist  cant add more function but internet , navigation and etc added.

 All these changed affect film industry such as photoshop or adobe premier. When this program changed the reality,  screen show this changed stage and people who watch movie is affected. This manipulation create delusion. for example sometimes film which didnt changed with adobe premier audience says that this part is manipulated or the exact opposite situation.Finally, developing technology is changing people's mind and the perspection of accuracy.
