Le screen
I think we can all agree that the screen is a concept and tangible media that has been around for a very longtime. It is a great example of “old” media that is not only still around today, but is also used in the evolution of the newer media used to project images onto it. It can be used in simple media situations, such by using any light source and a hand to have a good ol’ fashion shadow puppet show or it can be used for more complicated mechanics like that of a projector. What’s new about the screen today is the constant evolution of the projectors and machines being used on them. Also perhaps the materials and process used to make the actual screens and how they are engineered to reflect images with minimum glare and efficiently light absorption.
