Reading Quiz Redo
Jay Bolter in "Writing Space" condemns the end of the printed text. The very first quote is of how the printed book will destroy the church's method of learning through artwork like stained glass and the cathedral's beautiful architecture. He states, "The cathedral was a library ot be read..." Today, in cathedrals and other places to worship, the windows illuminates the pages of the books that the students learn from rather than teach the students themselves. Another way Bolter condemns print, is to accurately state that authors want their manuscripts published in print. Authors feel that to be published online is a wast of talent, because online writing are not valued as highly as a phisical object as a book can. "Both as authors and as readers, we still regard books and journals as the place to locate our most prestigious texts." Computer screens are no replacement to a page in a book and online is not a replacement for printed texts.
