Summary/Abstract: In the networked age, computer-mediated communication is associated with non-linearly organized text and the possibility of its multidirectional reading. Intangibility, accessibility, permanent connectivity— these are some of the characteristics of online texts, where a fundamentally different relationship is established between the author and the reader, especially due to the creation of user-generated content, compared to text in printed media. On the one hand, hypertext is considered to be a system, and on the other, it is emphasized that the development of information and communication technology was directly reflected in the emergence of digital media genres. This paper reviews some characteristics of electronic texts, including blogs, open-type online encyclopedias, electronic literature, and electronic serial publications, and towards the coclusion, discusses the changes in reading and writing that have occurred with the transition to digital culture.
