I ...The print versus internet thing is interesting. I personally get far more excited about seeing my work in print than on the web. You can hardly call yourself a 'published writer' if your work only ever makes it on to a website. <BR/><BR/>But print can actually be more transient than the Internet. The articles I wrote for a monthly magazine 6 months or a year ago can now only be found in my collection or in the hands of a few individuals or in the British Library (which by law demands a copy of of every published periodical in the UK). Most copies unfortunately will have have been trashed long ago. <BR/><BR/>However, they can still be found in the archives of the magazine website and will remain there indefinitely, the pages won't yellow, the images won't fade and they won't get covered in grubby fingerprints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22566066.post-63013565211344370932008-11-14T18:37:00.000-06:002008-11-14T18:37:00.000-06:00Oh snap!

He's an unsung hero of communications theory. One of his main ideas was that each new medium doesn't ever replace older media, but incorporates AND complicates them.J Isaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186428348253351210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22566066.post-80914005680528384932008-11-13T11:32:00.000-06:002008-11-13T11:32:00.000-06:00I'm with you sister.

Besides hearing it applied in every situation where someone experiences mild dissatisfaction with another's views, what bugs the crap out of me is that the vast majority of these people wearing it out don't even know the origin of the phrase.Broadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980127846960407409noreply@blogger.com
