the very first Course Overview Questions from Syllabus

* What is Interactivity?
action and reaction. active way of appreciating a media.
envolvement, not only accepting but also affecting,
controllability

* Why is Interactivity worth studying?
I believe interactivity makes people more engaged in appreciating
a media. Audience become more envolved and active when they have
control to express themselves in a media. It's far more powerful
tool than non-interactive media.

* What are classifications of interactivity?
Interactivity between what objects? people vs people? people vs media? media vs media?
How much freedom or controllability? how much audience can manipulate the content of the media?
How fast the reaction is? Is it immediate like playing game? Is it after 5 days like international mail?

* Interactivity and new media - what's the difference?

old media also has a certain degree of interactivity like selecting TV channels.
But when it comes to new media, the degree of interactivity need to be
a lot more improved in making audience participate the media and have control
of manipulating them.
