Speaking about hypertexts, Michael Joyce defined the term- Hypertext as "readers across the symbolic structures of a hypertext electronically in an order that they choose", (Brooke, pg. (89). According to Manovich, modality makes new media. With the changes of new media, positions of culture have been expanded, causing interaction between audiences. Some of old media i.e., print text conventions, are valued but don't serve the multimodality era. New media, such as networking spaces like Facebook, (Facebook - log in or sign up) or private spaces all use new media that explore the dimensions of multimodal elements and digital and verbal dialogue.
Manovich concluded that innovative databases that include diverse languages makes up new media. According to Manovich, "without sequences, order, development, or casualty, the database as a cultural form would not seem to lend itself to the kind of discourse that we typically treat to rhetorical analysis", (Brooke, pg. 98). Some spaces are bigger than others, one that might sell or produce products such as Amazon, have a bigger audience than scholarly databases. Understanding these databases are important to the success of the author's message, including understanding visual elements. Mary Hocks (2003) proposed that "to draw to easy a parallel between visual grammar and written grammar,"
(Brook, pg. 115).
Rhetoric is a persuasive tone. To better evaluate a person's interest that will reach multi-tudes of audiences. Welch argues the perspectives of author, text, and audiences. Old media and rhetoric will always be a part of our lives that makes technology advanced.
Style of rhetorical languages are also important. Moving from pen and paper to the more advanced spaces such as stylesheet. Technology's memory offers us, as users the capability to store and retrieve data. With persistence, authors can readily use verbal language and multimodal elements together to create a network with other people. Persistence will always make new technology easier for users like you and me. As the old media turns into new media, more and more ways of communication will keep internet users on top of things in any given space.
