comparison

=Comparison=

The most basic definition of comparison is //a statement or estimate of similarities and differences//. This can be the process in which it is decided whether one “thing” is similar or equivalent to another, and the quality of this estimation. In relevance to interactivity, this could be a comparison of networks or mediums and how they transfer information in (dis)similar ways. For instance, one may compare the transfer of information digitally versus physically. With the internet, information is transferred across various networks covering a large area and connecting many people across the world. This is comparable to information transferred through a print medium such as a poster posted in a small community. They both may transfer information but the internet can reach a large audience while the poster may reach a smaller, more concentrated audience.
