Reading is Vital, but will it be Invisible? Screens vs. Paper on Our Way to Naturalized Technology of Reading

Journal Title: Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue

Abstract

This analytical position paper aims to open discussion on the future naturalized technology of reading. Our analysis contributes to the discussion that scholars in human-computer interaction should borrow from other disciplines. We begin with seven-floor technology levels pyramid, which ends with naturalized technology. We look for the place of paper and digital book in this pyramid, currently somewhere between invisible and vital technologies. We discuss scenarios for the book, using current theories of reading from both philosophical and neuropsychological viewpoints. Finally, we show inspiring quantitative and qualitative data gathered during a``total research'' into the literary culture. They illustrate the ongoing change in the reading ecosystem.
