Abstract
The computer screen is an emanation of the evolution and on its spiral of the linear language of writing: first appears the level language of the art, afterwards the cinema image with a real sequence of movements on the closed space of the screen, after it the television, which brought at home “the page”, but already animated, the video arises as a “live book”, which is stacked at the library shelves, and at the end comes the display as a “computer page” and as an open, “alive”, dialogical book. This is the basis for determining the contemporary “culture of the computer page” as a metamorphosis of the book culture, a result of the evolution of the book or more precisely of its text.
Keywords: new literacy studies, theories and models of reading, pyramid model, information literacy, reading literacy, media literacy, history of reading, history of writing, media evolution, mediamorfosis, evolution of reading
