The End of Books

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article was talking about how the advances of technology have and are going to continue to make hardcover literature outdated.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.
