review questions?

Do technological features guarantee success in terms of widespread acceptance? Why or why not?

When was this covered in lecture?
What other impact does printing have on society and psychology?

What are the key organizing principles of new media technology?

How do these organizing principles affect individuals subjected to them?

A success is not always the outcome with new technology. As was the case with the book - due to awarness, literacy and distribution.

Print creates a way of thinking:
1. sequence, linear steps
2. broken up, less holistic, parts
3. visual uniform (times new roman)

Print also creates:
1. choice in religion (interpretation)
2. introspective individualism (reading novels)
3. industrialsm


the other two, i am not sure......
