Abstract
The document has been the culturally dominant form of communication for centuries, but it is the artifact of the specific characteristics of the technologies of paper and printing. Despite their dominance, documents do not serve users well. They are bulky, static, over-generalized and slow to change. The new electronic media offers the opportunity to create superior information products, but only if we throw away everything we were taught about writing documents
