"Digital media has destroyed much of the magic and mystery of the medium"

About this Quote
This quote by John Dyer speaks with the influence of digital media on the standard tools of interaction. In the past, interaction was typically a slow-moving and also deliberate procedure, with the sender and receiver needing to wait on a response. This developed a feeling of expectancy and also enigma, as the sender was never ever sure exactly how the receiver would certainly react. With the introduction of electronic media, interaction has actually become much quicker as well as much more straight. This has gotten rid of much of the magic as well as mystery of the traditional tools, as the sender and receiver can currently connect nearly instantaneously. Therefore, the anticipation and secret of communication has actually been lost, and also the procedure has come to be a lot more ordinary.
