WIRED on iPad: Just like a paper tiger

Key Point Summary:  When there are more graphics involved in a piece, there is more space that is being misplaced for valid wording. When graphic designs in print such as magazines or newspapers are intertwined with digital networks, their objectives can be derailed.

Key Point Summary: When you look at a newspaper you often notice how organized it is. You take a look at the columns and also the layout of the newspaper. Many people are not aware that newspapers actually have to consolidate all their rows and columns in order to have a successful and neat paper.  

Key Point Summary: There is a big difference between something that is viewed on paper rather than an application on a phone or technological device. Many people fail to realize that just because a font looks a certain way on paper, when it is made into an application or into something digital it will not look the same. The size will be different and of course the font type maybe different as well.  

Comment: There is a big difference between having something in print and then transferring it to a technological device. We have had his discussion many times in class and I personally hate viewing some things on a phone, laptop, iPad, and etc. Something’s I feel such as books have more value when they are read as a print document.


Question: Will there ever be such a thing as “enough technology”? We hear daily about new technology advancing like the iPhone for example. Sometimes I think to myself what more can a phone do? What do you think the next invention is going to be? How far is technology willing to go?
