SCREEN GRABS: DIGITAL DIALECTIC AND NEW MEDIA THEORY

When I first started reading this article, I thought it was basically talk about how technology is taking over the word. Technology such as cell phones, camera’s, digital DVD players etc. “A screen grabs is a quick and dirty way to capture an image on the monitor, in order to save or print it. In many desktop computer systems, the screen grab is accomplished with a simple combination of keystrokes.”(Lunenfeld XV). In that quote I thought it captured the whole article, since it is talking about digital world. Computers now actually have touch screens. While reading the article I thought it was hard to grasp what Lunenfeld was explaining, but when reading the top quote, it just summarized he whole article.
