When reading Principles of New Media, I realized that I hadn’t actually thought about how much new medias has gone through. I just though of it being there and didn’t acknowledge its history.  I didn’t think that, so much math would be involved and that different components in history have brought it to be what it is today.

One quote that mostly stock out to me was “Computers can pretend to be intelligent only by tricking us into using a very small part of who we are when we communicate with them.”  This quote made me remember of the times my words would be misspelled when I type and how they would automatically be fixed as I continued typing.  When I really think about it, I think it is amazing to have this feature in our computers today.  I was also reminded of the times when I listen to music on Pandora, sometime I would listen to music and spanish and suddenly start listening to advertisement in spanish.  I think that all five principles of New Media are interesting and it is great that they are something we can work with to help us make our art history interesting as well.
