About this title

Synopsis

The expansion of computer applications in all facets of our existence will eventually make Computer-based Text as common or even more common than paper-based text. Becoming inured to magazines on disk, electronic mail, and teletext-adapted television sets, all of which are now generally available, will accelerate our redefinition. Text should no longer be defined by its delivery device. Assent for that proposition leads directly to the hypothesis that non-verbal information (graphics) also constitutes text. If we consider the range of graphics that supports content texts, their function can be described according to existing prose text structures. So text becomes any meaningful information presented as text.
