    A cavestudent goes to Caveman University and is lugging his stone books to class. One of his friends looks over at him and asks why he doesn't buy the new type of books that are made of paper. They are easier to read, carry a lot more information, and are lighter in weight. Fast forward into todays society, a student is lugging their books around and a friend asks them why they don't buy a kindle it has all your books for classes on it, gives you more information, and is lighter in weight. This may seem dumb, impractical, and not historically correct, but this is what I thought of before I read Jay Bolter's "Writing Space: Computers, Hypertext, and the Remediation of Print." I thought that the electronic text would take over and there would be no reason for printed text, because throughout the centuries we have been making appliances to better ourselves and to bring about an easier lifestyle.
  What I found from Bolter's argument is that there are still reasons why there will be printed text in the future, besides the fact of people liking the feeling of having a book. Many authors find that publishing their writing electronically is too easy. At this moment I am publishing my writing on the internet by blogging. It is more of an honor to have a book published, rather than having your writing publicized on the internet. "Writing on the internet threatens the definition of good writing." There are no rules, restrictions, or constraints with inscribing on the internet. Although it is nice to have the freedom to express yourself, there is still this distinction of being recognized by editors and publishers and haveing your work printed in a book.
