EL 336 - Portfolio 1- Oral culture to the Manuscript- Opinions on the change of Book Technology
This is my blog portfolio 1 for the class EL 336 History and Future of the Book. Int his class we look at the history of the book starting from oral culture to the inroduction of the manuscript and printing press all the way to the digital age and how it has affected book culture. This portfolio is one made up of my blogs from the class. It is a kind of online discussion that the classmates do with eachother about the different readings. It is a way to get our opinions to eachother in a digital way that anyone can see.
In the semester this far, I have learned that the new technology of the manuscript from oral culture causes both the reader and writer to have varying opinions on what is the better technology.
