DTC355 Blog #4 Linking what I have learned.

The links are circling about you, you are getting tired of searching, searching, and searching some more. The hyperlinks connected to a web page can be more numerous than a reader and researcher would like. The designer or author, dreams up the newest "textual terms of some standard categories from rhetoric." (Burbules 102) As this continues into the future of what we know what is society, the history of bound books is just that, part of humanities history. The library's are all full of computers or desktops (DT's) and no books are in sight. Shelving is a decoration holding some type of art or antiquity. The cutting of trees have slowed to almost nil. The atmosphere is doing its balancing act since the processing of trees and ghg's (greenhouse gas) have been haulted. The only sound you hear inside a library is little tap, tap, tap of the portable or DT computer humming along. The searching never ends. Those connected to the internet are communicating their wishes or desires of anything available in 3D, the newest fad in linking up. Where you are does not matter any longer, because with a push of a button you can arrange for anything with the closest hyperlink.

Nicholes Burbules states the obvious in Rhetorics of the Web. He writes conclusively that the clicks and the searches are all a natural phenomenon amongst the now generation of internet users. Any intended connection or link has a "elemental structure that represents a hypertext as a semic web of meaningful relations" with the world globally. (105) This newest adaption of the authorship of new readers and listeners being connected to the World Wide Web (WWW) has grown and enhanced the improvement to the practice of reading. With the sensationalism and growth of this new development of the information highway (WWW) over the past decade, the benefits of technical proficiency is complex as it is apparently necessary. The language of interpreting and designing web pages is in its own category when trying to define all the parameters of the "hyper-reader" whether or not there are limits to their ability to keep linking and searching, searching and linking.

What I have learned is this. There is not enough time in the day. In addition, after midnight is the worst time to work on the computer, and it is not because you are more tired at night, but because it is then most Internet company's work on there servers, and you lose connections while on the WWW.
