In his essay Post-Artifact Book, Craig Mod discusses what makes the pre-artifacts and post-artifacts different from one another and their importance in shaping digital publishing. According to Mod, he states that “This is the post-artifact system. A system of unlocking. A system concerned with engagement. Sharing. Marginalia. Ownership. Community. And, of course, reading,” (Mod). It is through the post-artifact system that we as readers are able to look at books as not merely isolated vessels from which we obtain our information and knowledge but to look at them as more of a shared interface in which we can engage with one another. Additionally, with the post-artifact system, there is also participation in the production of “digital marginalia,” as Mod calls it, that allows for everyone to not only participate but also create a new experience for future readers within that text. Now, in reflecting on my own growing up with the web as a source of information and entertainment keeping this reading in mind I was able to realize just how easy and accessible it is to find the information that you need for anything. Additionally, not only was the web easy to use and accessible for finding information, but it also created more of a collaborative experience with others as you are connected to the whole world right at your fingertips. The web certainly makes life easier, but I also feel as though there is a loss in being able to actively want to learn things since you can just find the answers to everything so easily, but this is also not to say that I don’t want the web because let’s be honest without it we would struggle immensely.
