An Even Playing Field
1. Communication Moves Forward With Technology
We are in a fast advancing digital age - there is no denying this fact. Blogs are increasingly popular and reflects the influence that the internet has pushed through communications. There are theories that communication develops from personal interactions, but these personal interactions have evolved from face-to-face to the commenters on blog posts. Many folks are impacted directly by the inner workings of our minds and thoughts, much more than they used to be. Since our thoughts are made public all over the internet.
2. Availability.
The easy availability of eBooks has made them more and more prolific on the internet. Anyone can write their thoughts down and provide them to the reading public. As we strive to become more and more connected, we have found ourselves connected by snippets of one another's lives. From 140 character tweets and 500 word articles and blog posts, we are becoming a larger society firmly entwined with one another.
EBooks add to this, because you can purchase an eBook from pennies to dollars that give you training on everything from internet education to parenting skills. The evolution of eBooks have brought the information age to us in ways that physical books have been unable to do. You can have a full library on a small iPad or Kindle that would fill up your wooden bookcases in a matter of days.
3. Authors
No longer are authors at the mercy of literary agents and publishers. Now all a new author needs to do is format their book, add a cover and upload to their platform of choice. Freedom to write and publish is a matter of a mouse click. The publishing world has become an open and level playing field for anyone who wants to publish their work.
Authors are still subject to the reviews of their readers. If an author puts a book into the marketplace, they still must make sure to have edited for spelling and grammatical errors or the reviews will reflect this omission. No matter how easy it is to upload a manuscript to the eBook platform, it still should reflect the best work an author can produce.
The vast availability of information and ease of its utilization have made eBooks a force to be reckoned with. Now that there are applications for reading of eBooks on personal computers and cell phones, if you don't have an e-reader, you can still download and enjoy the books that you want to read.
