From my understanding, “The
End of Books” article was talking about how the advances of technology have and
are going to continue to make hardcover literature outdated. Advances with
computers have allowed us to read news, magazine, and literature articles
online. It’s made readings more accessible. Online classes have become more
popular and some classes I have taken on campus make us get the readings from
the web. More and more people prefer to read articles online, but I still like
have the physical textbook in front of me. Throughout the article the author
talks about hypertext and it is hard to understand what he truly means by that.
It sounds like the author is referring hypertext to be used as a type of
storage for any type of literature. He thinks hypertext has a different writing
style in comparison to hardcover literature.
