Reading a 500 page chapter book is very different to reading an online magazine or blog. Websites entail so much more. There’s more to read, glance at listen to work out. It seems as if the way we read things today are different due to the Internet and its new abilities of hypertext.
‘Nobody is going to sit down and read a book on a twitchy little screen. Ever’-Annie Proulx-Book on top. NYT.1994
Today not only are people reading books on their ‘twitchy little screens’ but applications have been created to download them Kindles, Ipads, Ebooks & Sony Readers have been invented for this purpose.
Although some of us do not read in a linear form anymore, we’re still able to make out the point of whats being read and the ideology.
‘Hypertext, which permits readers to choose their own paths through a set of possibilities dissolves the fundamental fixity that provides the foundation of our critical theory and practice.
it’s as if not only technology has made a new way for us to read things, but us as individuals are grasping new ways on how literature can be read. if literature is not read the simple way due to digital literature, what will happen with books in years to come? Will they too be written and read in a different way?
