Argument for Essay

I'm not sure if Michel Foucault's argument completely works for my essay yet or not. I don't know if I would be focusing completely on authorship, however in my notes I have written down that he focused on systems of knowledge (how we know things) and the relation between knowledge and power (how society controls and organizes knowledge). In a way, I think this focus could be linked to some of the sources that I have found during my research. The fact that libraries are in a way being forced to digitize, I think that definitely comments on the fact that our society's organization of knowledge is becoming changed more and more as more technology is developed and improved.

Based on everything I've done and found so far, I feel as though my argument might deal with multiple things. Or, maybe it's simply that ebooks and the concept of digitization is affecting many things, such as publishing companies, libraries, authors, readers, etc. I have found that more than one source talks about libraries and how they have done studies to see how people react to have ebook readers included in their collection. In addition, one source discusses the fact that certain books may inevitably become extinct if it is not digitized, such as those that are out of print and/or the copyright is in question.

At one time in history, people marveled at the new invention of Gutenberg's printing press. Now, the written word is on its way to complete digitization.
