What Is Linear Text?The digital world is changing how the world gains knowledge, entertain themselves, and communicate. In the video for linear text it shows how the world has changed with the help of the computer and internet. People from China can read news from a small town in Ohio by a click of button. Someone in Africa can study a history topic that was written by a person in Germany. The internet had exposed the world to itself. Its helped people change the way they view life and deal with situations. There is no longer a need for pen and paper to write your thoughts and hope someone reads it, there is no longer a need for a television to view your favorite show, and there is no longer a need to write letters to loved ones.Websites like Google, Yahoo, Myspace, and Youtube help the earth expand its knowledge. We need to rethink how school is viewed and attended. With the help of the internet and other devices that help us communicate with the outside world, students are able to pick up more information and understand it in less time. There is no longer a need for text books and encyclopedias when a student is able to pick up his/her mobile phone and check sites like Google or Wikipedia for the same information. Time is a main problem with all students, some have problems attending class on time, or aren't able to get all there work done in a school period. Schools need to rethink how they get all this valuable information to the students in a convenient way to both students and teachers. As the article "Rethink Schools" says "education leaders should design learning environments that incorporate movable furniture and walls, connect with the wider community, and enable collaboration, interaction, and the gathering and sharing of information", meaning schools should be more flexible to how teachers get information to students. Linear text is a learning method that has become outdated. With the creation of the internet we no longer need to go through text books, encyclopedias, or anything other form that brings us the content we are looking for. Finding out news from another country has gotten so easy that with a click of a button you know whats going on in Italy when you live in Mexico.
