[…] A scholar of various media languages, Lev Manovich, and a critic, Ed Folsom, believe that computers and web led to a new literary genre, the database, which in the twenty-first century will become the equivalent of epic narrations and novels.
At the opposite end are all those like Ugo Cardinale and Dario Corno who consider he web to be responsible for a radical impoverishment of human rational critical capabilities. In the midst of all this, lies the media’s background noise composed of errors and lack of style – especially in private communication – that characterises the web, chats and blogs.
