-Digital texts require more sifting (search method), more options quickly available 
-Authority of written text is less questioned 
-Can do more with digital texts
-Hypertexts require more connections to be made as to where a hyperlink will lead
-Hyperlinked icons require an additional layer of decoding (knowing that an icon of a house will take you back to the HOME page)
