Web vs. Paper writing

From an architect's perspective, it's all a matter of design. Most paper writing must be designed to fit certain borders, sizes, and length. When considering web writing, the restrictions can possibly be fully eliminated. Technically, you can have unlimited space. There are no restrictions. Linking can easily be compared between the two. I recall an example of a magazine to which I subscribe, Saltwater Sportsman. One can read most of the articles published in the physical magazine on the SWS website. The same article that would have to be restricted to a quarter of a page can be displayed in a full link from the main section. Another issue is the consideration of the audience, and how much time that audience will be spending reading a certain portion. In physical form, an article has to be designed to include a lot of information in a concise form that keeps the reader interested. In web design, things can be seperated with links that direct the user from one page to the next based on interest. Concept of designing the two is very similar, but the possibilities are different. On webspace, paperspace is unlimited, but nothing can compare to having the physical copy in your hands.
