How is technology changing the way we write? In the fast-moving world of email, content is far more important than spelling and punctuation. Is it time to throw away the old rules—or should we hurry to the rescue? From pen-and-parchment to the email revolution, Naomi S.Baron’s provocative account shows how a surprising variety of factors—not just technology, but also religious beliefs, the law, nationalism, and economics— shape the way we read, write and communicate. Along the way, readers will discover that: • Long before keyboards and carpal tunnel syndrome, monks grumbled about the ergonomics of the medieval scriptorium. • In 1902 the Times of London proclaimed of the telephone: ‘An overwhelming majority of the population do not use it and are not likely to use it at all.’ • Many children who seldom spoke to their parents at home now communicate with them through email. • And much more.
