Turning (ON) the Page: Research on Electronic Literature

I chose to do my project on research on electronic literature. The reason why I chose this topic is because this is something that constantly surrounds us and something we can all relate to. Electronic literature has been a steadily growing market. With research on this topic, I'll be able to touch upon several perspectives such as sociological, technological, and educational. I'll discuss how electronic or digital literature is having an impact on the society and how we're adapting to such a big change. While the traditional ways of reading and receving information still exists, the appear of digital literature certainly is making a big difference. And the people's perception and acceptance of such drastic change certainly splits into two sides of opinion.

    Very interesting research proposal. Two ideas immediately shot to my mind when I read this. You can focus your paper on 2 different things. Firstly, you might want to focus on the advantages and disadvantages of electronic literature as it relates to education. Or you can research how electronic literature is capturing the market of traditional literature as it relates to business.

    First thing that pops to my mind when reading about your topic is the reality of technology taking over more and more of our lives everyday. I'll have to admit I'm not a fan of eBooks. Occasionally I'm forced to buy certain literature in electronic form due to it either being more affordable then a hard copy or the ease of access. But if I have the opportunity, I always go for a hard copy. It seems that technology, referring to phones/tablets, seem to be wiping away or taking over a lot of what we use little by little. Many of us miss our local Barnes and Nobles which have shut down due to electronic literature. Where do you stand on these outcomes of electronic literature? Do you still prefer hardcopies? Do you print out a hard copy of certain sections out of a textbook when you really need to study it thoroughly? Will authors continue to write literature if they are not making enough money due to not selling enough since electronic literature is replicated and released to the open market so easily. just some thoughts. I remember when Harry potter first came out and the shelves cleared the same day. You couldn't get a new release without it being on preorder. Especially if you wanted a hardcover. I still have my collection I look back to time and time over. It's a shame the excitement about literature and hardcopies does not exist anymore.

1. What is file sharing? File sharing has been an important and very useful feature in new media technology. It allows us to transfer files between computers in a very fast and swift manner. It saves a lot of time and certainly proved to be very efficient in every professional or educational fields. Sharing photos, documents, or any other kind of data is super convenient. For instance, on a daily basis, I share pictures with my family or friends through AirDrop which lets us transfer files between our phones or even from phone to computer within seconds even if the file is over 300 megabytes. So it's definitely one of the biggest digital features that we have the luxury of having. 2.         What is P2P File sharing?

Wiki So Far

I haven't contributed or added any content yet, but I'm planning to do research and contribute to the Real Estate page. I work in the real estate field and by being constantly surrounded by it I certainly can add much more information than presented. I'd like to discuss about the listings and several platforms that let realtors post their listings on. Lately, there's been many issues with them which cause agencies to reconsider their entire business structures. So definitely planning to expand on that.

Next New

While trying to come up with a new technology in my head, I realized that in our day and age we have the luxury of possessing nearly every single technology that's available, useful, and helpful for an average customer like myself. Considering my term paper was about the impact of E-books on our society, I came up with an idea of creating better and more entertaining e books for education. E books that would provide audio and video content while a student scrolls through a text. It would be a very helpful technology and feature overall for all ages whether it's 3rd material with more pictures for the little student or a scholar's complex ideas broken down into well displayed images or video. I can imagine scrolling down the pages and having a nice compact projector like screen on the left that describes and vividly portrays what's written. So certainly, the literature field can use some improvements and newer inventions to make any kind of material easier to grasp.
