Bolter Bothers Me!!

Bolter is so caught up in the fact that technology has taken such a drastic turn in society. He thinks that there is no future for printed text. Printed text will always find its way in the world. It will always be necessary and convenient in some way. It may not be so religious to have books printed on paper, but printed text will find its own way to be important and of such value. Technology may be blooming to be a sense of life, but no matter who you are, printed text will be a reminder of where we came from and will be valued for all eternity. Like i have said in previous posts, technology is just a simpler and easier way for people to get things done. It shows how lazy of a society we have become. Bolter is thinking from a writers point of view, so he seems somewhat let down towards how far we have come from the printing press, and printed text being so valued in the past, to technology overtaking such a value as printed text. It will always find its way in society no matter how far technology grows, text on paper will make its way. Bolter is too negative and pessimistic for me. I can understand where he's coming from, I just feel he can go a different way about it.
