Synopsis
In the midst of ideological debates in the 1980s concerning literacy, an entirely different kind of revolution in the practice of literacy was occurring. Everyone - students, teachers, authors, and their readers - was starting to use computers to compose texts. The very notions of "reading" and "writing" were being altered with the use of online library catalogues, computer databases, and electronic mail. With access to laser printing and desktop publishing software, writers were also able to control not only what they said but how it looked. Just what are we to make of these and other new computer-related "reading" and "writing" activities? In what way are such computer-based activities likely to affect not just how we read and write but what we mean by "literacy" itself? "Literacy online" brings together ten writers from diverse academic and professional backgrounds to address five issues dealing with computers and the redefinition of literacy.

Author's blurb
17. März 2006
Von Myron
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This edited volume consists of papers delivered at a conference I organized at the University of Alabama in October 1989, one that was dominated by the excitement (or possibly hype) associated with what was then the relatively new and still strange-sounding term of hypertext. Indeed the self-proclaimed coiner of the term, Ted Nelson, delivered a rambling monologue on how the concept would solve both many of the world's problems (such as organizing and storing global knowledge) and many of his own personal problems, such as being unable to write a coherent essay--the solution to this latter problem was simple: put all your individual thoughts on individual hypercards and let readers organize them as they might. There is a fair amount of editorial intrusion in the volume, in the introduction and conclusion as well as with discussions with the participants following their essays, where my own skepticism seeps through, producing what is arguably a more balanced account, while still reflecting the excitement of an historical moment that most participants felt marked a truly revolutionary change in how we write.
