3 points and a question.

1. The author notes that due its ergonomic qualities, the computer display has resurrected the functionality and versatility of text.

2. It is interesting how a group of books on a shelf can reveal how the choices of stacked letters can positively or negatively impact the reader. I think we all can think of instances where we had turn our head sideways to find the book title we needed.

3. Italic may be the most common form of creating emphasis. But there are several others such as caps, changing color, parenthesis, small letters, and changing and mixing fonts.

Question: Can the Web provide "all people, regardless of physical or technological readiness, with access to information", as stated in the quote by Lynch and Horton?
