| | Writing for the New Millennium |
 | | Interactive electronic literature is not part of today's mainstream, but this may change as an increasing number of readers become accustomed to books on disk and more and more publishing houses venture into electronic publishing. | | | Most electronic pioneers are exploring the computer as a vehicle for malleable, nonlinear writing unlike anything from the world of print on paper. | | | For example, one of my interactive digital poems is afloat on a sea of computer networks, where it has been read by hundreds of people across the country who have downloaded it--that is, transferred it via modem to their own computers. |

| | A complete curriculum in new media studies now includes not only electronic literature and electronic writing, but also discussion and analysis of computer games, network and digital art, and the cultural effects of a variety of network communication technologies. | | | Prizes such as the Electronic Literature Award and the trAce/AltX prize could be renewed to help develop a way of acknowledging and rewarding exceptional works of electronic literature. | | | This is neither to say that computer games have pushed electronic literature out of the new media curriculum nor that they should. |

| | Judy Malloy: Electronic Literature |
| | Electronic fiction forms will include "narrabases" (nonsequential novels that rely on large computer databases); "narrative data structures" that elegantly organize fictional information on eye-pleasing computer screens; complex narrative investigations based on the adventure story model developed in computer games; and stories told collaboratively by groups of writers in online communities. | | | In contrast, literature published online, in electronic form, can be accessed and read by anyone with a computer and modem, and it does not require continual updating. | | | Ideally, electronic publishing would be based on operating systems, such as UNIX, that port between personal computers and online systems. |

| | Firstly, these writers have to surmount the technology barrier in order to create an electronic work, which requires access to a computer, appropriate software, and in the case of web-based fiction or poetry, access to the Internet. | | | Thus, there is a lack of awareness of the aesthetic dimensions of the electronic medium amongst writers who stick to the linear format of writing whether they are using pen and paper or a computer. | | | A lot of innovations in electronic literature so far have been by early adopters of technology who have devoted enormous amounts of time to break into totally new ways of expressing themselves. |

| | "Electronic Democracy" by Scott London |
| | All of the preceding cases of electronic democracy involve broadcasting in some form, but there are also numerous initiatives underway within the field of computer networking. | | | With the advent of the computer in the sixties and the subsequent proliferation of new information technologies, electronic town meetings were no longer a matter of mere speculation but became instead the subject of considerable experimentation. | | | As a tool for governance, Perot's electronic town hall is equally suspect, for while the technological hardware that makes it possible may be new, the philosophical issues involved are old and intractable. |

| | Eastgate: electronic reading |
| | The essence of an electronic book may be as fixed as if it were cast in lead, or it may be as volatile as live performance or dinner conversation: electronic writing adapts to our needs, while print adapts to the needs of mass production. | | | Indeed, much of the literary establishment still fears electronic reading and worries that fine writing is somehow tied to the technology of chopped trees and carbon ink. | | | A few writers, notably hypertext poet Robert Kendall, have worried that changing formats, changing software, and changing media will make it hard for electronic literature to reach future generations. |

| | The convergence between databases and the literature means that database annotators and curators will increasingly perform the functions of journal editors and reviewers, while publishers will develop sophisticated database platforms and tools. | | | The idea is that, rather than simply producing their own data, communities instead create a vast, shared pool of well-structured information, and benefit by being able to make much more powerful queries, simulations and data mining. | | | But they are key to a host of issues that affect scientists, such as searching, data mining, functionality and the creation of stable, long-term archives of research results (see Richard Rowe, Digital archives: how we can provide access to ‘old’ biomedical information). |
