Observe: The visuals that were used in the presentation fit in well with the text surrounding them. The prezi had a plain white background with black text; the background was simple and did not distract or take away from the text and visuals. Sometimes the font sizes changes, however it gave a good dynamic to the presentation.
Infer: The group discussed how the canon has a definite ending where now with hypermedia it is infinite. With a click of a button you can be almost anywhere. The internet does not just end somewhere, it is constantly moving. The group also discussed how printed texts are visually simple. Generally speaking there is only so much one can do on a single page. Yes images can be layered or turned to fit differently in order to fit more on one page however overall there is only so much the reader will see and there is not as much for the reader to get distracted by.
Question:
1. Printed text is generally visually simple; can hypermedia and digital text also be visually simple or will there also be more dimension to the page and more distractions?
2.Will there always be a "new writing space"?
3. How does semiotics play a role in creating digital media and has it played a role in past writing technologies?
4. What exactly is hyperfiction?
5. Does the new writing space and digital media take away from or limit the importance of printed texts?
6. Is the new writing space necessary for the evolution of writing?
