Chapter 1 David Bolter

   “Writing Space” talks about digital media’s rise in popularity and how it displaces the print form. The argument is whether printed or digital text is better for the reader. Writing on the computer can be easier. Instead of taking the walk to a library, you can easily go on the internet to find out about something you need to know. Bolter states "between print and digital forms, the ideas of the book is changing." I do not agree with this statement. The ideas are still being portrayed, however, the only thing thats changing is the way it is presented. People like  the quick source of the internet.  
     These days people can post their thoughts or stories online. Posting things online can help you get what you want in an easier way. Whenever I need information my first resort is Google. Printing did displace handwriting. The printed book became the most valued form of writing. The internet sometimes has the book for free. I think there are a lot of positive affects from digital text.
