There is a correlation between Gutenbregs press and the digital "press". Two technologies forever changing history. First the creation of moveable type, in which the time it took to make a book was severely cut down. Allowing information to move freely. The latter taking said information linking it to new information. In which allows a further distribution of said information. Both technologies allows for accessibility of information to the user. The interesting idea that played out for gutenbergs ideas are still being pushed through. E.g. revolutions that used printing presses to over throw governments. In correlation to this idea we see that the ability of the digital "press" the future of the digitization of everything will lead to government overthrow maaaaaaan.

Digital Interaction from the Print War Kids

I would love to read other peoples annotation in relation to mine. Were we both thinking the same thing? Are we both having the same thoughts or even what are you highlighting that makes reference to your life. There seems to be some interesting concepts in allowing for multiple versions of a single book with different peoples annotations in them. However, something that I thought about that is much more interesting. Due to the fact that our annotations change the text a bit, interjecting our own thoughts and ideas of this weird thing we are reading, is it possible for the /book/ to get edited by the person reading it? Is the possibility that I can read On the road by kerouac and change Deans name to my own, or change the inter-structure of who the characters really are to fit my own needs? If I change it enough, does it become my own text? Can I sell it saying I wrote it, will I go to jail if I do it? The article seems to point at copy right issues as an underlying ideal. Using this digital pubs what is copyrights anyway?

The internet made something that wasn't visible in print, visible. It was just a new media for "content" to be shown. As the internet grows, content becomes important. Why am I spending 38 seconds looking at your web page? Oh nothing interesting? Lets spend the fractions of a second to click off this page. In print however, you spend a lot of time wading through worthless content to get to what you want. You no longer have to wade through it with the internet, you just search for the content you want. There is also this lingering idea. If we do look at the content on the internet, it seems to me that most of it started as print. Quotes, articles, books, music, <insert more relevant things here>. There is this idea of, print is the "content" and the media is the internet. Movies are things we watch, but they have speech and if they have speech that means there must have been a script, which was most likely on paper. Or it was "designed" with its intended use for print. The internet is just a gathering of content the content being made for print.
