Question
Characteristics of digital media
Answer
Rapid sharing, efficient storage, interactivity, linear and non-linear paths, perfect copying.
Question
Linear vs non-linear media
Answer
Linear runs in one order set by the maker. Non-linear lets the audience choose a path — from options someone else decided.
Question
What did interactivity change?
Answer
Responses can be recorded, which turned an audience into a dataset.
Question
Why does a correction not catch the claim?
Answer
Non-linear media means nobody sees the same sequence, and a duller correction is shared less and ranked lower.
