Take Away

The first major take away from this grid is how the circulation of text is continuing to change due to technology. In Jenkins "Spreadable Media" it speaks about how human interactions with text are changing due to the new forms of media. There's a higher circulation therefore a higher interaction because with the web, it allows there to be more interaction with texts.
My second take away comes from Johnson-Eilola and Stuart Selber and their focus on assemblages and remediation. As the grid says, they "Define assemblages as texts but primarily and explicitly from existing texts in order to solve a writing or communication problem in a new context" but what I have learned from them is although you are remediating and using someone else's text, a key term to remember is plagiarism because you have to make sure to give credit but still add what you want to contribute to it and make it a remediation.
A question of mine now, although we have touched on it briefly in class already, I still would like a definite answer on if anything is original. I would say that I still think things can be original even though we all are influenced by preexisting things, we still make texts original in our own way, because although it may share thoughts with others, it's still not going to be completely the same as someone else's.
