Response to comment on Wk 1, Q2

Actually, in response to the comment, I am thinking that state of arousal would be a good indicator of interactivity and by that I mean the feeling of engagement (the 'wow, this is so cool' feeling) by whatever media one is dealing with. This, I feel, is mediated by the expectation that one holds with regards to the media that he or she is interacting with. For example, when you are viewing a web page for example, and the avatar starts responding to your mouse clicks, you would find it very interactive because you would not expect it to react at all since most things on the internet do not respond in that fashion.
