Chapter 2 Response

     Bolter examines different writing methods and how they are inevitably the same.  He claims that no matter writing with a pen, computer or talking a writer attempts to "arrange verbal ideas in a space for later examination by a reader".  The reader may view an idea differently depending on where they view the material but, the writer still communicates this idea the same.  A reader's frame of mind is the real writing space.  It is the area in which the writer must focus on the most.  I agree with Bolter in his claim about writing technologies.  I believe the reader views an idea differently depending on the space.  But, the writer does not and should not view their work any different.
