2) Immediacy depends on hypermediacy, Bolter explains how filmmakers use live-action footage as well as computer compositing, is there any other examples of hypermediacy with other types of media?
Bolter uses the example of webcams on the internet as another form on hypermediacy. This shows an example of hypermediacy through a different media other than television. Another exxample of inernet hypermediacy he uses is the CNN website, where he states that 'arranging text, graphics, and video in multiple panes and windows and joining them with numerous hyperlinks; yet hte website borrows its sense of immediacy from the televised CNN newscasts'.

Yeah! We didn't talk about webcams at all. I think there is some cool/weird stuff to think about with webcams, because they seem to be an "immediacy" thing--but when you start to think about things like the "webcam jukebox" that the authors talk about things start to get funky. Cool.
