1. Technological fluency is “the capability to understand, use, and assess technology beyond its rote application” (76). If technology is really meant to be built upon and altered, who is to say what the “rote application” of an object really is?

2. One page 83, Kraus discusses the meanings of books and their inaccessibility. While it is true that in order for a book to be successful it needs to be accessible to readers, interpretations can still vary wildly. Even if the book is widely read, does the implied message ever indefinitely make it across to all readers? In this case, should authors ever strive for their works to be more selective towards those who will get the meaning right away?

3. I agree with sentiments expressed on page 87. The effect some text has is lost between the various mediums in which to read them. Kraus mentions how the Kindle only can view one page at a time. Although this can hurt an author (if the author wanted to present both pages at the same time like in a normal book in order to get the reader to see broader) can it not also help? What if the author wanted to create dramatic effect and leave a cliffhanger on one page that gets resolved on the next? How much does the physical manifestations of text affect the way we read?
