Variation


Landow notes that "electronic text always has variation, for no one state or version is ever final."

The hypertext can allow its reader to become a writer. That is difficult with printed text, but not impossible. Again, the difference in the possibilities lies in the technology used to publish: the printed text can provide space for response in reading, writing marginalia or filling in forms, and in creating meaning; the hypertext can allow the reader to add to the printed text, an authoritative act that undermines the unity of the text more visibly than anything print allows.

Both printed texts and hypertexts are never final, because all of their instances are copies. Differences in technology are responsible for traditional print's seeming more final and unified than hypertext. Yet traditional print is not inherently monocentric, nor is it necessarily final.

Hypertext simply uses digital and electronic technologies to attempt to surpass the polycentric inertia of
paper printing.
