ABSTRACT

The World Wide Web has already passedthrough several stages, each of which refashions some earlier media. The Web today is eclectic and inclusive and continues to borrow from and remediate almost any visual and verbal medium we can name. What is constantly changing is the ratio among the media that the Web favors for its remediations; what remains the same is the promise of immediacy through the flexibility and liveness of the Web’s networked communication. The liveness of the Web is a refashioned version of the liveness of broadcast television.
