The Question | Two Paths | Remediation | Recommendations | Works Cited Recommendations and Conclusions Bolter declares that, "Today we are living in the late age of print. [...] Although print remains indispensable, it no longer seems indispensable [...]" (Writing Space: Computers, Hypertext, and the Remediation of Print, 2). Obviously, print texts are not dead, and despite predictions to the contrary, they’ll probably live useful lives for many years; nevertheless hypertextual writing is becoming increasingly important. Linear discourse conventions should not be forgotten, too, because teaching students to produce hypertexts (what Bolter and Grusin might call “remediations” of linear, print texts) must surely require some consideration of the conventions of linear text, if for no other reason than to see how hypertext “remediates” linear text to form this new medium.  Despite the numerous differences between linear text and hypertext, ultimately I believe the process of translating a linear text into a successfully functioning hypertext can help students see hypertext as a distinct medium for thinking, writing, and reading. Precisely because these two media are so different (one a “remediation” of the other, and sometimes even remediations of each other), such an activity can be used in a classroom setting to the benefit of both linear and hypertextual writing.
