From the origins of writing to today's computer-mediated
communication, material technologies shape how we read and write,
how we construe and share knowledge, and ultimately how we
understand ourselves in relation to the world. However,
communication technologies are themselves designed in particular
social and cultural contexts and their use is adapted in creative
ways by individuals. In this book, Richard Kern explores how
technology matters to language and the ways in which we use it.
Kern reveals how material, social and individual resources interact
in the design of textual meaning, and how that interaction plays
out across contexts of communication, different situations of
technological mediation, and different moments in time. Showing how
people have adapted visual forms to various media as well as to
social needs, this study culminates in five fundamental principles
to guide language and literacy education in a period of rapid
technological and social change.
