In this study, Christian Vandendorpe examines how digital media and
the Internet have changed the process of reading and writing,
significantly altering our approaches toward research and reading,
our assumptions about audience and response, and our theories of
memory, legibility, and context. Reflecting on the full history of
the written word, Vandendorpe provides a clear overview of how
materiality makes a difference in the creation and interpretation
of texts. Surveying the conventions of reading and writing that
have appeared and disappeared in the Internet's wake, Vandendorpe
considers various forms of organization, textual design, the use
(and distrust) of illustrations, and styles of reference and
annotation. He also examines the novel components of digital texts,
including hyperlinks and emoticons, and looks at emergent,
collaborative genres such as blogs and wikis, which blur the
distinction between author and reader. Looking to the future,
reading and writing will continue to evolve based on the current,
contested trends of universal digitization and accessibility.
