Think of this.  &#8221;High Fidelity&#8221;, the book, takes 20 hours to read.  &#8221;High Fidelity&#8221;, the movie, takes 2 hours.  Why?  Because the book is written in text.  The book makes no use of sounds, images, pictures, video, emoticons or abbreviations.  Some people believe that chat is destroying language.  I think chat is creating language! Chat uses many more elements.<\/p>\n<p>I want to write a book that makes use of all these resources.  I want to be able to write using sounds, words, emoticons, images, drawing, video, pictures, etc.  And I am working on this.
