Critical Theory in a New Writing Space

Observe: They only put one image, however I felt they could of used more. They used quotes from Bolter. They had a white background with black font. The group did a good job presenting. They really knew there stuff and dissected the chapter well.

Infer: There is no end to the internet. The internet can take you anywhere. The writing spaces have been growing and creating an evolution. Writing is authoritative. They explained how which ever the writing is presented, the reader and writer will still have the same understanding. 

Question:
1. What connection should the reader have with the writer?
2. Do you think writing has reached a peak or is it going to keep increasing?
3. Why is writing so important?
4. Why did your group only use one picture?
5. Which has more power, the writer or the reader?

Refashioned Dialogues

Observation: Compares writing to music as a structure. Music is similar to text because both can be shown through visual notes. Uses a picture of two paths. A reader chooses her path through the book by being able to peak in the back of the book. Media lets you choose your path. They showed a comparison between printed text and digital text.


Infer: The reader has an advantage when reading.The group focuses on writing does not need to have a specific structure. Writing is now made to suit a person specific structure of writing. In todays world, linear method is obsolete in writing. Text no longer has limits. Dialogue is continuously improving with technology by being more interacting. In todays world, we have dialogues in Facebook, Twitter, Texting, Email, Print, etc. Before these new dialogues our comments were private and were hard to share. You would put your notes and comments on the empty spaces on the paper. Now with the internet you can easily just comment on the wall of Facebook, Blogs, Journals easily. The writer cannot only be the one to see it but the world is also an audience too. 


Questions: 
1. If we get to choose any path we want, want happens if we go the wrong way?
2. Why don't you think we should have a guide? 
3. Aren't there too many paths in the world now that technology has been born? 
4. Do we create all these different types of writing because we get bored with all the other ones?
5. Why do you think we are going back to visuals when in the early centuries they changed to print?
6. Do you think we should of just stayed with out linear method of writing?
7. Why does Bolter compare writing to music?
