Beschreibung
The move from books to hand-held digital readers, such as Amazons Kindle, is not just a movement from a printed page to an electronic page. It is a radical change in the way that we think, our epistemology. Benjamin J. Cline, PhD examines this rise of the e-book phenomena and explains the rhetorical and social exigences that brought it about. He considers changes that have taken place in mediated communication in the past and describes the changes in thinking that came from them in order to explain the changes in thinking that will take place with hand-held digital readers. Finally, Dr. Cline explains exactly how those changes are likely to impact our thinking and how we can adapt to a world where thinking is developed through e-books.
