Text- Anything that you can read, study and get a message from. Something that is deliberately composed.
Technology- artificial, uses tools to perform a task, it uses other technologies.
Why people have problems about the books? It was isolating, unresponsive, destroys memory, artificial manufactured product, inhuman.
Books connect you to the author and the other who have read them, you can respond to them, they are manufactured. And they may not make people remember things but they are a more reliable source.
People believe the same thing of new technology, such as internet and video games that it is artificial, isolating, making us lazy. But you can’t say it is unresponsive.
Oral vs. Written
Oral- contextual immediacy, tone, can be changed in repetition, less room for misinterpretation, spontaneous, stream of conscious, natural, auditory
Writing- constant but have no intonation, readers have more freedom of interpretation, solitary, room for editing, polish and fix things. Invented diaries, introspective questioning (can make us more thoughtful or more selfish) it is visual, objectified. (made us more analytical)
Everything is good and bad.
– depends on your personality and the way you were raised as well.
