Ink-shedding

When the book took over the the scroll, it was setting out to create something better and more effective. The creators of the book knew that individuals would find them easily accessible. If the book was not an overall better option than the scroll, people would not have accepted the remediation. They would have not been okay with scrolls becoming obsolete. The creators of the book knew how to appeal to the publics desires and needs. For example, print was created because the public needed a more efficient method of producing books. They were able to create the printing machine so that the aesthetic appearance was not completely different than what the public was previously accustomed to. But after a certain amount of time Johann Gutenbergs printing press wasn't the best invention out there anymore. The public became bored with the printing press and desired something even more technologically advanced. That is when the idea of digital text emerged. We now have the power to type a sentence within seconds or delete a paragraph with a single touch of a key. The possibilities are truly endless. Another great thing about digital text is that it is flawless. We see the machines as perfect, being as they are constantly meeting our every day needs. Because there is constantly new material being circulated on the internet, computers are allowing the freedom of continuous change. This continuous change and flexibility is one of the most essential aspects of electronic text.
