For the final paper I would like to write a research paper focusing on the effectiveness of content communication when digitized as opposed to traditional mediums. I would like to combine this topic with the issue of credibility which we encountered in the article by Johns, “The Book of Nature and the Nature of the Book”. It was interesting to learn how there was this problem of credibility when books transitioned from conveying the content orally to written form, and how this problem is relevant as we transition from traditional written form to electronic literature. This is a broad idea still but I would really like to research whether or not electronic form is effective and if so why does the audience prefer this medium. I will be using the recent article by Hayles and Thomas as mentioned above and other sources.
