The Virtual Codex from Page Space to E-space

Key Point Summary: There has been many different forms of text that has formulated throughout the years. From palms, to desktops, to laptops, iPods, and iPads so many different devices has made a widespread across the nation. Most of these forms have many similarities because they all are meant for the same purpose. You can read, write, type, research, chat, and do so much more with most of the items listed above. The “e-book” legacy has started to formulate all over.

Key Point Summary: The idea that electronic books will outshine paper-based books and overcome the drawbacks of traditional books features is a very interesting statement. In today’s society books are still being bought but most people are relying on electronic books to get them through the day. Even though some e-books are limited, there are still mixed reviews about the promotion of e-books and physical books.

Key Point Summary: Rhetoric has played a huge role in world of text. The promotional rhetoric says that books are static and fixed forms that can be improved through the addition of interactive features. Rhetoric that supports the e-books tend to suggest that all of the advantages are on the electronic side.

Comment: I personally think that physical books are getting outdated. More and more people are becoming technologically advanced which is why e-books are progressing.


Question: How long do you think it will take before almost everything becomes e-book generated?
