when readers become writers
Landow makes note that the allowance of anonymity of the internet encourages more readers to take an active role, thus decentralizing the author, and therefore leaving the role of author more malliable.
No one can question that reconfiguring the author is happenig on the internet, but to what end is it happening? Once readers are permitted to change the author's original work, where do we go from from there? Will the entire internet ever become an open source forum like Wikipedia or Linux OS? What measures can we use to make sure the information being "published" on the web is accurate and truthful--or do we care? It is clear that we, as both writers and readers, have to be very discerning about the information we believe to be true because of the shift in authorial power.
