No one knows at present whether hypertext will bring the end of the book or a new democracy of knowledge.
No one knows at present whether hypertext will bring the end of the book or a new democracy of knowledge. "Sometimes I feel very strongly when I was researching on the Internet, education comes from the screen and not from book - otherwise it would mean booking.
The computer takes over" mechanical "activities, so that more time is left for creativity"
Hypertext is the form of information processing in the global Internet. Hypertext is nonlinear, has no beginning and no end.
writing is linear. When you write, you write line by line, thereby giving a reading before. Only when one reads and writes lines, you can one-dimensional (linear) think, feel, act, evaluate and do. The font is to be understood as a disciplinary mechanism. This mechanism allows the people and forces them both to give orders and obey them to think straight and act.
The hypertext principle , after which the Internet is organized overcomes the linear text, the surfing the Internet overcomes the linear story. Internet users are moving in a dialogical network, there is no hierarchy, everyone can communicate with everyone, there is no preferred direction of the information.
Traditional images
The alphabet was before about 10 Developed 000 years ago. It has the traditional pictures that had previously been the dominant medium, the dominant code for self-reflection of the human community displaced. These images (for example, cave paintings) were two-dimensional representations of the living world. In these scenes were captured, symbolized. They were "subjective abstractions of phenomena".
Technical images
The alphanumeric code is about to be replaced by another: the code of technical images. Computer images, all images on the Internet, but also television and video images. They all consist of lists of zeros and ones, which are then converted to pixels. Pixels are pixels, and zero-dimensional, as such, without extension.
the alphabet, the prehistoric pictographs that displaced traditional images, now it is itself displaced by the technical images. Why is this important? The structure of the information carrier has a decisive influence on our life because we, unlike the animals, mainly due to acquired Based information. If texts are replaced by images that do recognize it, and we evaluate the world and ourselves differently than before: no longer one-dimensional, linear, processual, historical, but two-dimensional, as the area, as the context, as a scene. And we act differently than before: not embedded more dramatic, but in relation to fields.
