Cut, Copy and Paste and Counting Sheep

When one today is asked about ‘cut, copy and paste’, they quickly associate it to a computer function. The articles on this go further into depth than just the basic tool of the computer, which we think has been bought into existence because of the device. The introduction of comparing those media tools to our ancient ancestors is amazing. The people in the past used tools to cut and carve objects. People from the east copied art, culture and ideas from the west; and then applied or pasted these concepts to improve their lifestyle. When you think of it that's exactly what the computer tool does as well. It takes the idea from somewhere else and replicates the exact same thing where you want it.

This can be related to computers, communication, culture, language and so on. Media Ecology has enabled times to evolve and improvise different aspects of a man’s life. A bit more complex to understand but as explained “Meaning is generated, in part, by the grammar, rules,

structure, etc., of the medium, all of which are aspects of the code or form, and all of which place constraints on the information that can be transmitted or stored, thereby providing the needed redundancy to allow information to be meaningful, rather than being reduced to noise
