Digitalized Text

So, what i got out of Lanham was some of the pros and cons of digitalized text. First off, the author issue. It is so much easier to be able to hold a copyright and claim authorship when your work is in print. It just seems much more official, to me anyway, and one cannot change it. On the internet, however, texts can be changed, and i think it is harder to find the original author of something too. I think that when something is published on the web, writers may not follow citation rules quite as strictly as they might for books and other printed texts.
However, one of the pros to digitalized text is that you can change it...if a text is too small, you can make it bigger. If you don't like the font or color, you can change that too. You can search terms instead of reading the whole piece. You can copy and paste passages you find important into a Word doc to come back to later instead of having to copy them  by hand. It is definitely more convenient that printed text in a lot of ways.
I still find print better though. If i need to search a key term, i will go to the digital version of the text, but as far as reading and highlighting goes, i like to have the paper or book in my hand.
I did find some of the things he describes in this article kind of amusing. Like the After Dark program...isn't that just the average screen  saver? And a lot of the other things that he describes. He says that some people may call them "futuristic," but he argues that they are very much in the present. Yet to us, they are old news and new and more exciting things have been developed. Its always interesting to read articles from the past that talk about technology, whether present technology or "futuristic."
As far as the Kohl article goes...i have nothing to say. I did not find anything interesting in it and i enjoyed the Lanham one more.
