Understanding Metamedia

From what I understood from this reading, performing a simple command in software are actually far more complex. Commands such as "cut and paste" and "search" are examples of simple yet complex functions. As technologies rapidly advance and become more capable of performing various tasks, technology becomes a medium for consumption. I connected this reading to computer applications in art by the easy usage of the "cut and paste" function across the numerous types of media creating software. Content creators can sample others' work or their in work. We live in a time were we remix; remixing not only exists just in music, but in just about all kinds of media.
