The Great Author's Abilities Analysis
Rick,
I concur with your comments on the great author’s abilities. My thoughts are the authors had the fundamentals of creativity before the technology was even thought of. They were able to do more with less and were very successful in doing so. Technology may offer some tools that expedite the process, but you can’t replace having the skills, abilities and a creative mind to move words into great stories.

    What Is The Paradox In Fahrenheit 451

    Steven Spielberg once said, “Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we’re too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.” Both Steven Spielberg and Ray Bradbury noticed the effect technology has on people in their worlds. Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 originally as a short story titled “The Fireman” and the Galaxy Science Fiction published it in 1950; he later expanded the story into a novel published in 1953 called Fahrenheit 451. Fahrenheit 451, even though written in anticipation of the future, is applicable today because the advancement of…

    A Delicate Operation

    The best part about his writing was the way he paints a picture of everything that occurs in the reader’s head. While reading it’s easy to really see every single aspect of the gory procedure Selby is describing. This imagery is effective for two major reasons, one it again adds to the mood of the story and two it adds to the emotion and suspense. This style of writing really makes the reader identify with the character, creating a lot of sympathy and makes the reader feel obligated to keep reading till the end how the story turns out.…

    The Influencing Machine Analysis

    Brook Gladstone and Josh Neufeld in their thesis states that we get the media we deserve and it’s not controlled by humans but our dark thoughts. However, it’s vice versa, media does control what we do or sometimes it even takes over what we perceive to be true and as well as our lives. In now a day when looking around the environment everyone seems to have some machines with them, such as phones. By looking around it seems that the people are the ones being centered on technology. Overall just like how the moon revolves around the earth, the people revolve around machines. However Gladstone and Neufeld do have good visuals, style, and context that engage and connects with the reader in a unique way that is different from other authors. To put it briefly they had good illustrations that attract the audience towards the article. As well as having different forms of history really made the article stand out. Also the way they embedded themselves within the article made it as if they were there with us, guiding their audience through. All in all Brook Gladstone and Josh Neufeld have a unique, interesting and attracting article that gets the audience connected with…

    Nt1310 Unit 1 Research Paper

    Wolf (April, 2013) says, "There is physicality in reading, maybe even more than we want to think about as we lurch into digital reading—as we move forward perhaps with too little reflection. I would like to preserve the absolute best of older forms, but know when to use the new." Even though there may be physicality in reading a book, the changes that have been made with technology has also improved the speed we do business and by improving the speed of conducting business which brings a better economy and more jobs to keep up with the pace. Being digital will also gain the interest of more desirable ways to improve the technology we have today, by increasing productivity and convenience. Imagine a time where everything is built in and you no longer have to be holding devices nor books to read stories or gain knowledge by looking through information. What if we had everything programmed into our minds from the…

    Allen Buchanan's Beyond Humanity

    To better understand how we relate ourselves to the technology we have nowadays and the technology that we have been exposed to in the past, we first analyze the book “Beyond Humanity” by Allen Buchanan. In this book, Buchanan explain enficices the idea that technological improvements are not new to us, he says “... to enhance human beings is to expand their capabilities- to enable them to do what normal human beings have hitherto not been able to do. Understood in this way, enhancement is ubiquitous in human history.” (Buchanan 38). These enhancements have always played a great role on our biological changes. For example, literature as one of these enhancements allowed us to communicate information more efficiently, it allowed us to store more information than our brains ever could; this came at a cost, because we are able to write down information or communicate it easier, our…

    James Joyce How To Read Literature Like A Professor Analysis

    In How to Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, Foster uses literature to simplify his analysis of modernist novels. One piece of literature, he analyzes is the short story The Dead by James Joyce. In the short story, snow is a prominent element and symbolizes death and unity. It is used to highlight the death of Gabriel’s delicate ego. With impeccable wording, Joyce uses the snow to enlighten Gabriel about an important lesson--that he is an inadequate piece of the world and that he is only one of the thousands of people of the world united by snow. Joyce describes Gabriel's newfound humility as, “[h]is own identity was fading out into a grey impalpable world: the solid world itself, which these dead had one time reared and…

    Global Literacy: The Evolution Of The Printing Press

    Writing has existed since before the year 0. Its evolution to what it has become today was made possible by the invention of the printing press, which made books easier and cheaper to produce, stimulating the spread of knowledge and writing. This first mechanical machine that helped expand access to learning and information has led to the establishment of the modern-day Internet. Although the Internet has improved upon the beneficial qualities of the primitive printing press remarkably, the printing press was much more revolutionary than the Internet. It caused literacy rates to increase drastically and made many world-changing revolutions possible as well. On the other hand, the Internet provides access to everything the printing press offers,…

    What Is Fahrenheit 451 Technology

    Our future is now and technology is increasing. In my opinion technology could either work for the greater good or devastate our economy.

    Is Google Making Us Stupid?

    If we go back to the early days, when the Internet was not available, people had to research deeper than they do now. They spent hours and hours in a library, searching through books and newspapers. As time progressed, society started developing and new inventions were made. Friedrich Nietzsche started using a typewriter after his vision started failing, and his writings began to change. He went from “arguments to aphorisms, from thoughts to puns, from rhetoric to telegram style” (Carr 636-67). Frederick Taylor “created a set of precise instructions” that would have “maximum speed, maximum efficiency, and maximum output” for factories to use around the world (Carr 638). Taylor’s “system” made factory’s productivity soar. With these new ideas and inventions, the world began to change and now has come to a place where everything is relied on by the Net. “It’s becoming our map and our clock, our printing press and our typewriter, our calculator and our telephone, and our radio and TV” (Carr 638).…

    My Strengths Of English And Writing Class

    Since I have not heard any rumors about English 101, I cannot judge how this class may go for me. English and Writing is not one of my strengths but I really believe this class will help me turn my weakness into a strength. The way we were taught to write formal essays in high school are nearly the same as it is in college. Using the MLA format was big in my high school because we were told it was going to be a necessity in college. Something different about this class is having to write everyday. Every time we enter this class we should have a piece of writing ready to discuss and peer edit.…

    Why Internet Can Never Replace Books

    Why Internet Can Never Replace Books

    The Internet is very much like television in that it takes time away from other pursuits, provides entertainment and information, but in no way can compare with the warm, personal experience of reading a good book. This is not the only reason why the Internet will never replace books, for books provide the in-depth knowledge of a subject that sitting in front of a computer monitor cannot provide. We can download text from an Internet source, but the aesthetic quality of sheets of downloaded text leave much to be desired. A well-designed book enhances the reading experience. The book is still the most compact and inexpensive means of conveying a dense amount of knowledge in a convenient package. The easy portability of the book is what makes it the most user-friendly format for knowledge ever invented. The idea that one can carry in one's pocket a play by Shakespeare, a novel by Charles Dickens or Tom Clancy, Plato's Dialogues, or the Bible in a small paperback edition is mind-boggling. We take such uncommon convenience for granted, not realizing that the book itself has undergone quite an evolution since the production of the Gutenberg Bible in 1455 and Shakespeare's First Folio in 1623, just three years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth to colonize the New World. Not only has the art and craft of printing and book manufacturing been greatly improved over the centuries, but the great variety of subject matter now available in books is astounding, to say the least. In fact, the Internet requires the constant input of authors and their books to provide it with the information that makes it a useful tool for exploration and learning. Another important reason why the Internet will never replace books is because those who wish to become writers want to see their works permanently published as books - something you can hold, see, feel, skim through, and read at one's leisure without the need for an electric current…
