Abstract
This chapter introduces the central argument of this book and its key terms like ‘personal media’, ‘personalisation’ and the ‘lifeworld’. It exemplifies the unwritten history of personal media by focusing on media of writing, talking and watching, and also between their primary functional modes that are called orientation, interaction, presentation and archiving.
