LinearLinear text is the material I am used to reading in books, magazines, newspapers, and other printed material. The content is displayed in a straight line of paragraphs and pages from beginning to end. Readers are expected to read the material in the order in which it appears on the page. Writers of linear text use the title, the cover sheet, and the opening paragraphs. They use it for creating interest, establishing purpose, indicating the organizational plan of the piece, stating the thesis, scope and purpose of the piece. In a video I watched, linear is shown perfectly to me as I can describe it. In this video, written text has evolved to digital text to hyper text. Websites like youtube.com, yahoo.com and google.com are examples of hyper text. The video shows content and form which is messages explaining the pictures or videos. Whenever we type, backspace, click a link or drag a photo to a folder, we're teaching the machine rather than the machine teaching us. Access has become easier and faster thanks to the internet. The hyper text is a language when using the HTML page. On this page, I'm creating codes for a website. The last thing on the video, is about rethinking a certain amount of things. Things like "family, love, privacy, copyright and identity." Some things I don't want the world to know about so I most likely to keep it at home than put it up online for the world to see. As addicted as the internet has become, it would be hard to keep privacy on the web. The evolution of written text has been accomplished by hyper text. In linear text, readers read in any order they wish while in hyper text, they have instructions to follow before they can go straight to the part they want. This is perfect for a new digital age of learning.
