Abstract

The advent of Internet in the Information Society noticeably has revolutionized the uses of writing, of print culture. Thus, access and dissemination to the ancient book, secularly reduced to a privileged few, has been democratized noticeably thanks to the Net. Old and new have returned to live with. A debate that takes us to the Modern age, when the Republic of Letters, the current Internet, reflected on the authority of ancient and modern. It has been many centuries since, and the life of the ancient book, despite the technological changes, remains the same. Only the media has changed, the messages remain similar to those found during the Old Typography Regime. Evidence of how cohabitation is imposed on the idea of substitution by other means.
