Ink Shedding

1b)
In order to successfully remediate a writing space, it is necessary the newer remediation is an improvement to the older form.  Some might argue that Facebook's remediation of their home page is terrible and therefore is not an improvement of writing space and is not successful.  I agree with that statement.  If you want to remediate writing space, make it better and not worse!  When it comes to the example of the iPad being an upgrade to the computer, it shows to be a successful venture in the user getting quick information in a sleek design.  When we introduce a new technology it is always important to revise aspects of the older technology.  An example of remediation of a technology is the change of Facebook's homepage but the new version is commonly though of as worse than the older one so this is not an advancement of technology.  The iPad, however, is a good example of remediation to an old technology.  Years before the computer and iPad they did not have wasy access to the Internet.  Each time the technology is remediated it becomes more advanced than before.  Each time there is more features that make certain things more easy to access.
