Gutenberg might be dead but the text is living.

Gutenberg might be dead but the text is living.

Maybe the paper book is dead, but the text is living. The publishing platforms are changed from the books to social media platforms, which allows people to publish texts without publishing houses, and that thing causes that we are making mistakes. And in this case, we should be careful, that we will select the right words, but if we want to learn writing, we must just write. That thing might feel difficult, but when the process turns to routine, we will dare to write more and write with courage. And then we will learn to write by using more difficult dialogues and topics.

Social media is an excellent tool for many purposes, but the problem is that we should learn to read things. And here we are facing thing, that the written text still have value in information, even if we have created multimedia and web-based multimedia, which allows us to tell people things like some news reporter. But have you ever thought case, when somebody must do something by following instructions? What if somebody will try to install a washing machine by using the vlog?

If the employer wants to check some part of instructions, turning back the pages is easier, than finding the right place from the vlog tape. This is one way to think about written text. But there is another aspect, what is supporting writings as the middleman for delivering information.  The thing in the written text is that there is nothing, what will disturb it, and we can read things everywhere, except while driving or jogging.

The thing is that the details in the texts are sharper than in speech. While we are speaking, we might forget some words, and then just cough in right place for hiding that thing. Or somebody can just disturb our speech. But in the written text everything, what we want to show is visible.

Learning to write is a nice and easy thing. You must just learn to transfer hands and fingers when people normally are moving their jaws. And that thing differences writing from talking. So in the real world, there are always people, who are thinking that if somebody has hobbies like writing, that people are always some kind of autistic. But when we are thinking that kind of cases, we must realize, that there are always people, who say that kind of things every individual, who is different from what they are.

And that thing justifies them to troll others. But when we are thinking written text, and play an idea that maybe we will become someday great writers, that process might hurt. Everybody in the world is making mistakes. And misuse of words is very usual, and here we must realize that sometimes we are using words, what is not suitable. But as always practice makes a master.

Many times we think that some words mean something, and then we are facing cold truth, we have made mistakes. What a catastrophe, we who are so perfect, that we should ever make mistakes have used the word without checking it from the dictionary. And in the end, I must say that even the paper book might be dead, the text itself is living.

The thing about post-textural time

The thing about post-textural time

The thing about post-textural time

I just read a Tweet, where some journalist wrote about the post-textural time, and the thing, that multimedia would replace text in the new form of democratic science. When we are thinking about writing and reading as a hobby, we must realize that the even VHS cassette was a more popular way to spend time, than reading. And maybe multimedia is a more popular way to tell people, what is going on.

When we are reading about things like that the texts are history, and Gutenberg is dead, we must think, that are some kind of arts like Mozart and other so-called great composers ever been the entertainment of the so-called "regular people"? Or has so-called "Regular John" ever opened the poems, what are written by Lord Byron?

Do you read poems?

Here I must confess, that I ever read those poems because I don't understand a thing about that kind of arts, or maybe I'm trying to play some kind of masculine person, who dislikes the poems. But do you know, why scientists and every other people, who are thinking that they are wise men are writing about their thoughts? The idea is that written words are neutral and if the writer has some problems with speech like stuttering, that would make the thing easier to understand.

The printed words might be dead, but the thing is that text itself lives in the form of PDF or some other files. And this is the thing, what we must remember. The multimedia supports things, and the films are really good tools for giving demonstrations, how atoms form the molecules and other kinds of things. But there is one thing, which is a really bad thing.

Sometimes the multimedia can be denied from the screens, and in some cases, there have been problems with the video-cannons on the occasion of the thesis. And at the last, we must remember that people are also writing diaries even today. You might read this text as the diary if you wish, and this is the thing, what makes text still living form of the art. This diary or blog is anyway public, and you can read this thing with my permission, if you want, and share these texts to your friends.
