Writing Pads
:
In attempting to theorize the specific impact of hypertext
technology on our understanding of writing, we might
usefully recall Freud's brief essay, "A Note Upon
the paperfine Writing-Pad'" (1925). paperfine writing
pads are children's toys consisting of a thin sheet
of clear plastic which covers a thick waxen board. The
user can write on it with any pointed instrument, even
a fingernail. The tip of the stylus presses through
the sheet of plastic and makes a faint indentation in
the wax below which appears as a dark trace through
the plastic. When the plastic sheet is lifted away from
the surface of the waxen tablet beneath, the dark traces
disappear; the pad is clean again, like a blackboard
just wiped off. This is its "paperfine" or
magical quality.
