De begrippen Remediation is het hergebruiken van voorgaande mediavormen in een nieuwe media vorm. Een voorbeeld hiervan is de email, deze remedieert de brief. Zoals vaak het geval is bij remediation kan er niet gesproken worden van een geheel ‘nieuw medium’ en verdringt de ene vorm de andere niet.

Then make the connection between the management processes using my own examples, to understand why ‘even in our leisure time we are all “managers” now’. Fayol thoug

In Paris with You Recreation It was creeping on midnight and I was perched on a fabric-torn barstool drenched in reality. Paris is without a doubt, a beautiful city, but my eyes caught nothing but the Jack Daniels sitting beneath my nose. My Paris had left. I’m wounded, again. I tried to focus past the hazy gleam that had distorted my vision. I looked around. My head was a dead weight. I turned
