It's hard to think about the moments in which the internet had only text located on it. Today we see it as a visual, kinesthetic and auditory learning center. I agree with Bolter and Grusin when they say that the introduction of images on the internet had two profound effects on the consumers/users of the world wide web. First, more people started to use the internet because of the images newly added and second, older media could be remediated to create better and more efficient programs. I believe that these two effects opened doors for new ideas to form on and about the internet as well.
I don't think that the internet would be the same without all the graphics that it has incorporated into it. The internet started with basic images from pictures and drawings that have been remediated and transformed into moving graphics and videos that can start talking to you when you enter a website.
