In Response to Poster

After reading Poster's, "Authors Analogue and Digital", I found that I appreciated his objectivity to both analogue forms of mediums(print) and digital(for example:blogs). We live in a culture that the mediums are rapdily tranistioning from analogue forms such as books to the everday evolving form of digital media like websights. Postor does a great job describing both the postives and negatives of traditional analogue and the digital revolution mediums

Poster pointed out some of the relativly simple but key argumens about why analogue should still be used as a primary medium. Within his piece, he made a point to talk about stablitly and accessaiblity of media like books and newspapers in comparison. Society still and will continue to rely on this very basic and simple concept of printed media because it will always be there. The finalization of print media being released into the general public is on of the it's greatest assets. Unlike digital, which can be changed at any second, print is sold and doesn't change as fast. Not only are books always going to be aroudn, they are widely more accessible to the public than the internet. The idea that anyone can go to the library and get a book, take it home and read is one thing the digital revolution cannot offer everyone. These few advantages have continued to keep analogue at the very basic medium level.

As stated above, digital mediums are forming a new wave of how many of our basic types of media are pushed out to society. Poster made the argument taht digital allows flexabilit in terms of when or who can write,read and publish their own work. Digial allows an open door to everyone to put whatever they want on the web whenever they want. Unlike pring, the words of this medium are not set in stone but are able to change on a moments notice. Poster pointed out that this ability to change and evolve whenever it wants has some positives and negaitves
