Hot and cool media

Today we had an introductory lecture in Hot and Cool Media. In terms of something being hot or cool, something is hot when it is set. As in a book, or gravestone, something that has been created and is uneditable. Something cool could be something interactive, or something changeable, such as a meal or Facebook page. Additionally, hot media can become cool. For example, a piece of written music is hot, but when played live, the music becomes cool as it interpreted by the person playing it. This was explained in a video demonstration by Bill Ver Plank.
