Comppost Ideas for final project

December 1, 2008

I may expand upon my last paper about how hypertext as a literature does not seem to work well, because the overall presentation distracts from the actual meaning.

In my rough draft, I explored how the concreteness of a book seemed to anchor the readers to the actual reading of it. With a computer screen, you feel disconnected from the actual words; with a book, however, you can actually feel and see the letters. Perhaps I could include this, to expand upon the fallacies of hypertext.

I could also talk more about the body vs. soul. to make in fit with my actual paper. Either way, I will continue to stress the point that hypertext ultimately does not count as literature.
