Do you know you probably write a lot of digital text? No? Well, let's check more about it...
The truth is that we live in an era when politicians post tweets about national politics, and school assignments are posted on social media. So, don't you think these are examples of digital texts? Well, of course they are.
Farias, G. (2024) defines these kinds of texts as all content written for the internet to be disseminated through cyberspace, which means that they are consumed through a screen.

Have you reconsidered yet? Can you think of a digital text that you have written or read now? If not, let me refresh your memory
Digital text...
...can be accompanied by images, audio, videos and animations.
...are also highly modifiable and can be updated almost immediately.
...can refer to another and this one to another in turn.
...can be selected, copied, pasted, shared and saved.
...must be able to adapt to the requirements and configuration of each device.
...usually compete for the user's attention, which is why they tend to be eye-catching and brief.

Of course, there are advanced digital writers who tend to stick to the rules of etiquette of the digital world "netiquette" or who use digital tools such as software and websites for collaborative work, grammar & vocabulary checking. Have you ever used one of them?
NO?!
Well, no worries
I’m pretty sure you have
already heard about wikis, forums and blogs like this one! These are also good examples of digital texts. And I’m not gonna tell you about blogs because you only have to check out THIS ONE ;)
Anyway, let me give you a quick reminder about wikis and forums. Take wikipedia as an example of a wiki where users create, edit and organize content collectively. On the other hand, forums are online discussion boards like a conversation but written which can be expanded to many places in the world.
