Now-a-days books are available in digital form on the web on almost every educational website. After reading Kroker and Weinstein The Theory of Virtual Class, I learned that throughout the web there have been many changes within the last decade. Why? Because of things being extremely available online. As said in the reading, “we now live in an age of dead information, dead (electronic) space, and dead (cybernetic) rhetoric.” We all as humans are bound to turn to the web. We are all digitalized and the information we now turn too is mostly on the web. WE no longer go to the library as almost everything there can be found on the web. We are surrounds by millions of websites leading us into other websites full of information. Even television isn’t the same. What was watched on TV. may now be watched online. The internet has taken such a big toll with the human race. We have all become cyborgs. We are all a part of the cyberspace. It’s enough to say that we have even created words such as cybersex to explain ones relationship online. According to Kroker and Weinsein, “the highway not only provides access to that which is already given, but allows the “individual” to “interact” with other “individuals” to create a society in cyberspace.”  Now what can be asked of us when it comes to printed versions of books? Well since everything is pretty much available online, whether with a fee or not, it’s available. We can find ourselves finding anything on the web.
