Red Queens and Increasing Returns
I owned one of the videos for the assignments in Module 4 (Total Recall). I had it on VHS. My son has a television that has a DVD/VCR combo. I was fortunate enough to find Paycheck at a local retail store for 5.00. I think it was inexpensive because it’s considered an outdated film. I viewed it on my computer (HP Media Smart). According to Thornburg (2008c) “Red Queen” is attached to certain phenomena when a competition between two forces results in the rapid development of them both. I think this is the case with Blue Ray and DVDs so I think they are examples of Red Queens. On McLuhan’s tetrad, they seem to enhance what we have for home entertainment.
