Object Analysis Paper|English – Article writing
Analysis, on the other hand, invites us to determine the world in new ways and from fresh perspectives in order to develop new skill. In this way, analysis is a mechanism of progress, but only when preceded by careful and thorough investigation.
In “The History of Writing Technology,” Brian Gabrial suggests that, in the context of writing, the human finger can be considered technology when he explains it as “likely, the first writing hardware.” In this way he invites us to see the historical significance of something as mundane as a pencil.
For this paper, you will pick one form of reading or writing technology that you use today as your topic of investigation. You will carry out research in order to describe the technology, it’s creation, it’s evolution, it’s means of production and distribution. Furthermore, you will consider the historical/social/cultural implications of your “object.” In essence, you will be creating a “History of Writing Technology.”
