47. Seeing and Writing

1991 - "Seeing and Writing" by J. David Bolter was published

I agree with Bolter's idea that much of what we experience in the virtual spaces we view which are provided by computers is influenced by life apart from the computer. It is the ideas of the past,the ideas of writing on paper pages, spreadsheets, and the inclusion of photos/diagrams to illustrate particular points that have been integrated in computer programming to provide users with tools that are easy to understand and recognizable.
