Document Summary
Digitization is converting analogue signal to digital. A lot of the decisions that we make when digitizing: what we keep and what we remove. Capturing some of the aspects of the original (center alignment, mix of upper and lower case) but also. Similar to translation: making choices as to which bits of information are useful making choices about what is important. Born digital: texts that don"t need to be digitized because they were born in the digital context. Author would make changes to his/her own text and this was captured in material terms. Now, digital drafts have disappeared (no way to trace how an author changes his/her writing over time) Digital: working with bits of information that can be infinitely changed. Analogue: rearrangement can be done in print, but is not inherent to the medium. But seen as more of a novelty and not a necessity.
