First, we discussed "what does 'digital media' mean".
When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media. And new mediado not replace old media, they displace them. For instance, desktop. Desktop simulate desk. Desktop and desk can serve one's own space and save document, information. Also professor refer to icon and file.

And next we talk about ted nelson who is inventor of hypertext and hypertext: One way that digital media hasbeen understood is as new forms of writing, reading and thinking. Hypertext is the way digital media has been understood. Example is 'Tristan Tzara's recipe for composing a poem.

We also think about engelbart who is inventer of the mouse, 2d display editing, hypermedia & hypermedia email, outline processing, multiple window displays, document version control, shared-screen teleconferencing, computer-aided meetings, distributed client-server architecture, virtual terminal protocols, remote procedure call protocols.

He wrote “Augmenting human intellect". Because He think man’s population and gross product are increasing at aconsiderable rate, but the complexity of his problems grows still faster, and the urgency with which solutions must be found becomes steadily greater.
And he stated problem, better & faster comprehension + better & faster & more solutions to problems.

Imitation is the mother of creation.
For example in this summary, when a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
Also I only knew hyperlink, but I know hypertext in this class. Hypertext is very various and useful. Hypertext is very interesting.

I think engelbart is amazing person. Becasue he invented many things and he think creative.
What he made-the mouse and hypermedia & hypermedia email, 2d display editing and so on- is used around whole fields. That is fantastic! So I wants to be person who like engelbart.
