future of the book
I can dream a dream - that would be something in hypertext.
Tim did that and look what he got AMOS!
The printed book will be around forever Why?
* Cause novels better suited to text codex?
Not so! novels best read lying down beside the fireplace.
But monographs and commentaries as text and hypertext definitely "in"
Why?
1. Screen printing saves trees
2. no use having all those unread books on your shelf - Instead of standing in the book shop reading the intro or listening to a friend's version, you can read a bit on screen first then make a decision to buy.
3. Can produce own research book in Hypertext, complete with your own pikis.
4. education institutions could produce own research or text books books - that will surely save costs for struggling students
5. From pencil to typing we changed our way of recording -Tim is correct, as students we need to approach reading (books), in other ways too.
6. Another thing (with books) codex text, how often are we seduced by the wisdom of the author. With Hypertext it allows the processes of thought and learnng to be retained, expressed and enjoyed, it allows the reader to question.
Yep hypertext will alter our way of studying the bible.
The dawn

well, as Sven Birkerts claims, that change is here nothing we can do to stop it ... i guess all we have to do is adapt and move on with life
