Is information about a person, place or thing unique and does it provide a new or different perspective? Pray fully the information below will aid in understanding this item in our criteria and lay the ground work for what may evolve as printed media is supplemented by what some may consider as a more in-depth coverage, which is limited in print media by a variety of factors, which are at least partially offset in web presentations. Layout in a web context allows the reader to explore additional information, which is restrained in print media.
Writing is unique, writing forces integration and synthesis of ideas, writing promotes a detached critical perspective, and writing can be an introduction into a discourse community.
The behavior of online information seekers is very different than the traditional readers: some surf, some search. The first group is satisfied which just seeing what's there - they seek pleasure and surprise. The second group is looking for specific information - their priorities are easy and rapid access, and accuracy.
By redefining the way we think and write, this new structure redefines all of our culture. New technologies alter the structure of our interests: the things we think about. They alter the character of our symbols: the things we think with. And they alter the nature of community: the arena in which thoughts develop. Neil Postman, New York sociologist.
An example of a new or different perspective is shown below, about Golden Retrievers.
Eva Lindqvist Fagerstrom, Sweden
Did you know that a yellow puppy from a black Retriever litter became the forbear of all our present-day Golden Retrievers? His name was Nous and he was born in Brighton, England, June 1864, and bred by the Earl of Chichester.
Did you know that in 1868 Nous was mated to a Tweed Water-Spaniel named Bell and four yellow puppies were born. This litter is the foundation of the Golden Retriever as a breed. Lord Tweedmouth at Guisachan, Inverness-shire, Scotland, bred the litter.
The first registration of a Golden Retriever by the American Kennel Club was in November 1925.
The most complete records of the development of the Golden Retriever are included in the record books that were kept from 1835 until about 1890 by the gamekeepers at the Guisachan (pronounced Gooeesicun) estate of Lord Tweedmouth at Inverness-Shire, Scotland. These records were released to public notice in Country Life in 1952, when Lord Tweedmouth's great-nephew, the sixth Earl of Ilchester, historian and sportsman, published material that had been left by his ancestor. They provided factual confirmation to the stories that had been handed down through generations.
