Creating a Writing Technolgy :: Invention Inventing Writing Essays

Creating a Writing TechnolgyThis radical is an analysis of the assignment given up to create a piece of music technology. The attempt must be made to save up a twenty (or fewer) word text using inhering materials only, that is, materials that have non been processed, produced, or man-made. The goal is to create a writing technology that uses natural materials, that has permanence, that is legible, and finally, that is creative.I stumbled onto my newspaper when I found large pieces of bark that had go off tall trees on campus. The piece I collected was just about three feet long by one foot wide. The condition of my paper was rather poor. The exterior surface was rough and gnarled - impossible to write on - and the interior surface, though while overall it was smooth, was rusty chocolate-brown with various discolorations and had slight raises and bumps in its surface. The bark was cracked along the distance of it in many places and ready to break apart if it were to be dro pped.With much(prenominal) a unique surface, I found it interesting that I had interpreted the quality of good paper for granted. Mark pair describes his experience of purchase a new writing device - a typewriter. Yet he makes no comment on the paper he used (500-3). No doubt the paper he used was of much poorer quality than the paper found today, yet Mark Twain makes no mention of how the typewriter worked on the paper of his day. Perhaps it was a nonissue, that in the same way that I take for granted the good quality of paper today, Mark Twain also took for granted the paper he had available. This experience is consistent with Dennis Barons dupe that we have a way of getting so used to writing technologies that we come to think of them as natural rather than technological (51). Whether it was paper produced today or in the day of Mark Twain, respectively we were so familiar with the quality of the existing writing mediums that little consideration is given to the materials the mselves - as long as they work. Now faced with a acoustic projection of writing on a piece of bark, my assumptions were suddenly removed and I was able to examine writing as a truly intemperate process.In choosing my ink, I desired a fruit or vegetable that would be easily obtainable, and that would permanently stain the bark.
