Leah Johnson:Chapters 7-9

Windows and Mirrors: Leah Johnson (Chapter 7-9) In these last chapters, terminal time has been explored. Terminal time defines cultural contexts and how it defines our history. Presentation and Participation are concepts that have been discussed. We are used to being in roles as spectators at presentations, such as movies or even when we are home watching television. We are used to being entertained, so this side of the interaction is expected. Spectators are meant to experience the film, as they are conscious of the actual interface. Two perspectives or roles are looking through the screen of the production. Through each of these roles we incorporate our beliefs and prejudices to every media. I agree with this because it is human nature to have certain biases and our own beliefs. Interaction with digital media changes along the course of each media. The way we participate in certain media depends upon the actual production or interface. We consciously become consumed in either of these phenomena’s. The example of us being consume in the interface of the voting booth, made the interaction of a specific interface apparent. The intersection of virtual versus physical activity with different media is quite interesting and we all participate on a daily basis.
