blog post 10

As stated before in my premier blog post, different people have their own interpretation on what writing is to be. Some say it's a profession while others say it’s a process of using the alphabetical letters to create desired words and texts to express an idea or personal thoughts. I would however like to add a small component to my first blog post idea. Writing is the use of modes (i.e. letters, punctuation and words) that are used to convey a certain idea to a specific audience most likely, which are knowledgeable to the topic at hand.

Previously I defined a remix as the reformation/remodeling of an existing piece of media or an individual’s original idea/work. It is impossible to have a remix without first having some existing form of media/work. Remixing has been going on since the beginning of recorded sound in the 1940's and the 1950's. This mainly coming from online sources, as I did not have much prior knowledge of the term at the onset of this course. Now I can tell you that a remix is essentially everything that there is in this world. Books, movies, computer and electronic software... you name it. Once there a process of copying, combining and transforming an original idea to get a more "improved" product you have created yourself a remix.

I believe the connection between the two is simple. Whenever you produce a form of text you have also produced a remix. Whatever you chose to write about was an idea that popped up in your head from some pre-existing text. You then basically combined that pre-existing text with some of your ideas and transformed it into you own piece of work hence it being a remix. The same way i took my first blog post and incorporated my initial responses of the topic into this blog post and transformed them into more in-depth answers in this blog post very well makes this one. Justifying my point that everything is a remix.
