Today everything is done on the web or computer. That's where the term digital text comes in. Everything from blogs to school essays are done on a pc by digital text. The video in class showed us exactly how digital text was used.

Many people wonder how we create and design a page. It seems difficult but its really not. One way to start is to use the code of HTML. HTML is totally free. HTML defines the structure of the web document. There are many free codes we can use to design our pages. Some of these codes are < p >, and < li >. < p > is a structure element referring to "paragraph". < li > is a structure element referring to "list item". As HTML expanded more elements and codes were added.

Another thing you should know about digital text is the form and content. There is a difference between the two. Form is all about blogging, and the presentation of the website. Adding picture, maps, and any type of decorations is form. Content is all the information given on the website. Everything written, typed, researched about is all information which is the content. The title, description, links, and any other elements in documents describe content. Also using content we don't need to know difficult codes. We can easily use page source and all the codes will pop up automatically, simple as that.

In the video shown to us in class mentioned the quote "we are in control and not the machine". This to me means that we control everything we put up on the web. We create every page ever made, the blogs, the websites, and even game sites. So we are more in control than the actual machine(computer) is.

I definitely believe writing is evolving more than ever. I feel this way because people are not just writing on paper anymore. There are blog sites and local pages where people write whatever they feel. This is letting everyone world wide into their life basically.The majority of things are done on a computer. Digital text explains it all. http://www.earwshs.net/ted/digital_text.mov
