Group11:::::: ONG & KITTLER
(Mazi, Ron, Rami, Yung-Hoon)
We started our group discussion with this question that whether the writing is a tool for remembering or a limitation to our thoughts? Without a doubt writing has been essential to human evolution and development, because it not only enables the author to save his thoughts but it also makes his ideas accessible to others and particularly next generations. On the top of that with recording ideas one enables others to analyze and criticize his thoughts!
Writing as a technology has also the problem same as radio referring to Brecht: it is a one-way communication. The question that rises here is that “ will the technology and new media fill this gap and by connecting people create a two way literacy?”
What we were also concerned was when Kittler argues: ”A total connection of all media on a digital base erases the notion of the medium itself.” Having Marshal McLuhan’s Arguments in mind, does this means that by a total connection of media where everything is delivered through one medium, there won’t be any message as the notion of medium is erased?
