Paper One:
Due: Friday, 10/19
Steve Johnson writes: "Where the Victorian novel shaped our understanding
of the new towns wrapped around the steel mill and the cotton gin, and
fifties television served as an imaginative guide to the new suburban
enclaves created by the automobile, the interface makes the teeming,
invisible world of zeros and ones sensible to us. There are few creative
acts in modern life more significant than this one, and few with such
broad social consequences" (17).Write a three-page essay that discusses some of those consequences, and in particular why Johnson places the "interface" in the aesthetic context of novels and television. |
