I'm reading Walter Ong's Orality and Literacy and it feels like writing my thesis was preparation for reading his work. This was published in 1982, but it is even more relevant today, IMHO.
I read Patricia Sullivan's article Practicing Safe Visual Rhetoric on the WWW (available at http://austen.sla.purdue.edu/handa.html) and found an interesting reference to Ong. I think Olson's The World on Paper also references Ong. In any case, I bought Orality and Literacy and I am captivated, wowed, hooked.
More later.
