Abstract

In the networked age, computer-mediated communication is associated with non-linearly
organized text and the possibility of its multidirectional reading. Intangibility, accessibility,
permanent connectivity— these are some of the characteristics of online texts, where a fundamentally
different relationship is established between the author and the reader, especially
due to the creation of user-generated content, compared to text in printed media. On the
one hand, hypertext is considered to be a system, and on the other, it is emphasized that the
development of information and communication technology was directly reflected in the
emergence of digital media genres. This paper reviews some characteristics of electronic
texts, including blogs, open-type online encyclopedias, electronic literature, and electronic
serial publications, and towards the coclusion, discusses the changes in reading and writing
that have occurred with the transition to digital culture.
