Communication Technology :: Communication

Communication TechnologyI began brainstorming and searching for products of nature to complete the invention portion of my writing technology assignment. I could non use any of the modern conveniences of writing. This rule totally eliminated the pen, pencil and unconstipated nail polish that crossed my mind. I also had to determine a surface for my text considering everything must be natural but not modern. I came up with the idea to use a h unrivaledydew and charcoal. The Honeydew would become my surface and the charcoal would become my writing instrument. I settled with this idea because I believed it would meet the natural and technology requirements for the assignment. This idea was not successful because the charcoal didnt show up as well as I planned. In fact, it looked more like I was running out of charcoal and appeared very light. I realized I needed a more rugged surface. I chose a cantaloupe instead. I opted for the smallest for mobility purposes. I needed to r emain universal and somehow connect the statement to our current readings. I decided to write, Different colors, one origin, God. Love all. The text discusses two forms of communicating, oral and written. One side favors oral communication and believes written communication is inferior the other feels oral communication is not as stable as written. One side feels written communication destroys memory. Walter Ong even compares the objections against writing to the objections urged by computers (Tribble and Trubek 2003 79-81). Different cultures did not accpet the written word and chose to strike an oral culture for this reason. The oral world as such distresses literates because the sound is evanescent, (Tribble and Trubek 2003 316). This means the spoken word does not have the same perceptual constancy as the written word because sound can vanish. Whereas the written word can always be referenced. Thomas Watts said, Writing is the First Step, and Essential in fu rnishing out the Man of Business (Thornton 1996 6). It is thought of being of a professional manner when you send someone a letter. This shows that you are literate and have skill to write. For example, you would send a memo to a co-worker but not to a relative.
