Only in U of California
"Finally, the terminology surrounding the device itself is quite interesting and raises some very interesting questions. For example, if the Sony Reader is the “reader,” and the human reader is the “user,” there is a slippage here that occurs in meaning of the word “reader.” Typically—although obviously not exhaustively or exclusively—defined as a human activity performed with an object (a book, for example), “reading” here is something done by the hardware which displays digital texts. While this is, in part, a tongue-and-cheek use of the term that most likely has its genesis in marketing strategy, it nevertheless introduces an important philosophical question for us to consider: is reading an online or digital work an exclusively human activity? Or must reading now be understood as a system of interaction between a variety of human and non-human agents?"
This person(professional student?) should go get a real job! |

Good bit of philosophy NormB!
We've all bumped our heads on that one while writing posts. Surprisingly not too many clashes of meaning have surfaced. Apparently the adaptability(humanity's greatest quality) of most has leveled the communication hurdle. And if you add the fact that half of us speak a different language...we're getting along nicely! In this definition may I add "the decryption of manufactured symbols to communicate ideas". That takes care of all media. What if we wrote on buildings instead of paper or computers? Would the Library become a reader? A book collector's domain would be an awsome sight! ![]() Reading is not the private domain of man.There are AIs that read, do they understand? That is something else. PS. I'd love to go back to studies! |

Sorry, I did not clarifiy the source of my quote. Here is the source:
http://transliteracies.english.ucsb....ts/sony-reader Being an Engineer I could not get that far into transliteracies myself. I was just poking some fun at where some of the multibillion dollar California election initiatiives funds for education are being spent. ______________ Love this site tho for its balance of technical and transliteracies!
