Half Quiz Corrections Half Unfinished

1. In my opinion, Bolter does not really condemn or celebrate the end of print text.  He states the facts and accepts the changes.  Bolter understands the change in technology that is occurring and he accepts it.  In his book, it says that some people think that the computer will never replace the printed book and then he gives us the advantages of a printed book.  Bolter then reveals that technology is quickly changing.  He explains that the computer is becoming smaller, more portable, and easier to read from.  Technological advances have changed the way we read.  We use both printed and computer text, but the future may only consist of digital text.  Bolter tells us that electronic writing is not a bad thing and that is has made significant advances.  He says that Jurassic Park has been bought and read by thousands electronically and that this may just be the future of writing and reading.  Bolter celebrates print text, but he is welcoming in the new era of electronic text.

2.  The homogeneity that the computer pro-pates(I think that's what I wrote?) is productive.  It brings our society together.  We can now read from anything all over the world.  I don't have the question to this and I don’t remember what it was so I can’t really finish it.
