Joyce on screens: "Hypertext has been called the revenge of the text on television since under its sway the screen image becomes subject to the laws of syntax, allusion, and association, which characterize written language. Print literally gives way on hypermedia screens to digitized sound, animation, video, virtual reality, and computer networks or databases that are linked to it. Thus, images can be "read" as texts, and vice versa. Any hypertext holds the prospect of representing on the screen the sights, sounds and experience of movement through virtual worlds that language proviously only evoked in the imagination" (24).
