This academic exploration by Professor Sue Thomas at De Montfort University examines the concept of transliteracy—the ability to read, write, and engage across various platforms, including traditional media like print and modern digital tools. The work highlights innovative collaborative writing projects such as the Noon Quilt group, the Million Penguins Wiki Novel, and the multi-platform narrative of Staying Single. It discusses how these forms of creative collaboration adapt to the rapid changes in attention and focus required in today's media-rich environments.

Hayles (2008) • Deep attention is superb for solving complex problems represented in a single medium, but it comes at the price of environmental alertness and flexibility of response. • Hyper attention excels at negotiating rapidly changing environments in which multiple foci compete for attention; its disadvantage is impatience with focusing for long periods on a non-interactive object such as a Victorian novel or complicated math problem.
