This edition includes a new foreword by David Gelernter, a new preface by the author, and an updated bibliography."Not only important but seminal, on the cutting-edge, furrowing new conceptual territory."-Walter J. Ong, S.J."A philosopher ponders how the word processor has affected language use and our ideas about it. Heim shrewdly updates a school of thought, associated with such thinkers as Walter Ong, that maintains all changes in writing technology tend to change the way we perceive the world. His argument that word processing leads to fragmented thinking should be addressed and debated."-Carlin Romano, Philadelphia Inquirer"The arguments range over all of Western philosophy (and some Eastern as well), from the ancient Greeks to contemporary phenomenology. . . . Everyone who has used a word processor will find much to think about in Heim's ideas."-David Weinberger, Byte"Fascinating, clear, and well-done . . . stimulating and challenging."-Don Ihde, Philosophy and RhetoricLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 409gAuthor: Michael HeimContributor: David Gelernter (Foreword by)Genre: Computing & InternetTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
