They were my favorite articles. The last two articles that I am going to try to incorporate are Hyper and Deep Attention and Produsage into this, although I didn’t like either. What is the impact of technology on print world.Wikipedia – writing is available to anyone, within seconds. Does not have to go through formal editing, instead it is reviewed by every day users. There are multiple ‘editors’. Must follow digital rules when users want to post something. No writing without proof – everything has to be backed up, much like providing sources when doing traditional writing. Topics otherwise not explored are covered. A full collaboration between users, instead of just one author or a few people within a joint project. Writing can be altered by trolls – the safety of writing is now jeopardized. Print writing cannot be defamed, but online writing can.
