In chapter one of Writing Space, Bolter preaches the great power of technology and digital forms of writing. He argues many points in which critics try to praise the advantages of print text. "Such conventional novels as Brave New World and Jurassic Park have been digitalized and read by an audience of hundreds or a few thousands" (5). Through his words, Bolter depicts his belief in the future of digitalized work and advancement in the thought of human beings, which is just what technology allows its users to do.
Another point to consider when reading chapter one of Writing Space is whether or not a reader will obtain the same information as another reader when using technology. Perhaps this may not be a disadvantage in reading digitalized text. Because not one set of web searchers will read the same set of works or share the same beliefs, technology has allowed for text to become diverse. Digital text breeds human thought and over all growth of society more rapidly then print text. Technology not only allows for human thought but it also connects almost every human being to one another with a click of a button. Any one can share their beliefs and maybe make a drastic change in the way everyone will think in the future.
